    But I guess its better now than later. Bout 2 days ago I felt something, and I said, what the heck is that from I did not do any lifting or stuff like that, maybe the constant in and out of the truck on Saturday classes caused it. Their was nothing on the DOT inspection. :laughing9: I mean I have gained some pounds from quiting smoking, but this is for sure there, I can feel that for sure, one of the friends is letting me know. Well I called the on call Doc, he says as long as your doing the bathroom bidness, just make a regular appt. Well lucky for me I already had a regular appt scheduled, guess we will see when we have to take care of this HERNIA.... Of course thats my guess, I did search on the symptoms. Missing class is not good, but hopefully it will not be much or any if I can plan it right.

    I had an operation for one of those a couple of years ago and it's been fine ever since. I lived/worked with it for over a year before I finally went in for the operation. It's a fairly quick operation and you walk out the same day - takes about 7-10 days to feel normal tho the Doc will tell you no heavy lifting for a few weeks (I was back working after 10). Maybe depends on the extent of your particular injury. Well good luck to you and hope it doesn't slow you down!

    Got to see the doc tomorrow, but my first thought of a hernia may be wrong, as the pain (not extreme) I had is not there now. I may have pulled a groin muscle while using the clutch because the seat was not properly adjusted, but I will still tell doc and see what he says.
