Hey guys,
I received the news from my doctor today that I have a Hernia on my groin area. Right off I knew this meant I couldnt' even pass third class medical. This literally killed me, because he then told me that if I didn't get it operated on, i'd never fly again in my liftetime. I already have my Private, and passed a first class medical just fine(the AME didnt catch it).
I plan on getting surgery on it probably summer of next year, right befor my senior year of college. I've been lifting and working out for two years on this thing before knowing what it was, and have been just fine. Anyone know of any good techniques that would allow me to lift and stay in the shape i'm in, or is it just too great of medical risk? My doctor told me I shouldn't, but I can't imagine just sitting around by house until next summer and not being able to stay in any kind of shape(besides running, of course).
Any advice would be great, i'm feeling pretty down about this, but pitying myself wont help anything, so 'im trying to keep my head up.
Thanks guys.
