I am in a hospital in Birmingham awaiting a repair of my inscisional hernia. I have just found out that my op will probably be cancelled which means stting on my bum waiting for a few days. On the upside my bed has an internet browser attached! woohoo. It seems very basic and it is a bitch to type on, but can anyone give me some good links?

[VJ]

Sorry to hear that...
Best of luck!

Either way, here are some links I like to read:

http://www.murc.ws (duh!) (edit: the rss feeds are often quite interesting)

gadget related links:

Good luck the the Op Paddy, I hope you get it sorted soon!

If you are in a private room, I have lots of links for you

Serioulsy though, www.big-boys.com is fun, as long as you are a little careful and heed their warning you should be fine even on a ward.

bash.org (I don't know what inscisional hernia is, I hope the damage doesn't exclude laughing )

fun.from.hell.pl might be also...fun (uhmm...just open the "folders" in the main page)

[Paddy]

Cheers guys. No private room, but this internet console sure is swanky!
Thanks for the first link, i'll read through the others. Bah! no tabbed browsing!

[Paddy]

fun from hell was blocked as it is apparently tastless

[ZokesPro]

What about www.fark.com?

Good luck with the op Paddy.

You may not be... familiar with the common types of hernias that you could get!

So just settle back, and let me clue you in... there's:

Incomplete (incomplete!)
Epigastric (epigastric!)
Bladder (bladder!)
Strangulated (strangulated!)

Lumbar Hernia
Richter's Hernia

Obstructed, Inguinal... and DIRECT! OW!

---------------------------

Props to Weird Al. I'm guessing yours is Inguinal? That means that it's poking through your groin wall.

[Fat Tone]

You are in Brum? When's visiting hours?

[Paddy]

1400-1800, 1800-2000 i think

still waiting to see if the op is gonna happen. Andrea is staying in a travel lodge with a friend from her old work.
Running out of links guys!
