Hand-Harvested, Shelled Black Walnuts. Getting these nuts to customers is truly a labor of love, as nearly every step in the cultivation, harvesting, hulling and final preparation of shelled black walnuts is still done by hand.
A hernia is the protrusion of an organ or piece of tissue from its normally contained space. In the abdomen, a hernia usually involves a piece of bowel, or omentum, which is a fatty apron that hangs down from the midportion of the colon (large intestine), protruding through a weak area in the abdominal wall. The abdominal wall is made up of layers of different muscles and tissues.
What Is a Hernia? A hernia happens when an internal body part abnormally protrudes from an opening of the surrounding supporting muscle tissue, beyond its normal body cavity. Protrusions may be due to an increase of body pressure, which can be caused by chronic coughing or straining during bowel movement.
