“Where were you?”
TONY
“I was in the garage. I was so sick that I couldn’t get up for two days. Then Doug brings me one of those expensive sodas in those little glass bottles. I have one sip and I just start ralphing, I mean I was doing it for 20 minutes. So Doug is holding this trash bag and telling me it smells really terrible, which it did but I couldn’t stop it. So I thought I had a stomach bug or something, but then I remembered that I’d eaten this huge meal just before I got sick, and it must all just’ve got blocked in there.
“Anyway, thank God it finally came out .
“Also I’ve now got this hernia here where my intestine bulges out [Tony displays a golf ball size lump below his solar plexus]. The doctors tried to fix it three times already but it just comes back out.”

Good to know you’re feeling better Tony. Not good about that golf ball sized lump. Maybe you should have it checked out again. It sounds painful:(

that is a hiatus hernia.
GUARANTEED dignosis.
But, no worries, it is easily sorted.
all it means it that some of your stomach stuff has come up through the muscle stuff that makes your lungs go in and out.
like a hole in a snare drum.
get it fixed, tony, and you’ll be fine real quickly – it’s an easy one and nothing to worry about.
