A member asked:
Ii had an emergency spleenectomy back in 1983 and am now getting frustrated with slackabs (they were cut hrough). can i have them stitched together?

Prob not: Sorry, but you can't really sew muscle back together. You may have developed a hernia though, and that can be repaired by putting a type of mesh over it by surgery. On a different topic, i hope you are getting pneumonia vaccinations every six years. Your spleen helps fight those kinds of infections, so you really need to get that vaccine to help your body.
