When it rains....it pours

[dave01]

Spent monday at the hospital with dad and his hernia surgery. Got to go out Tuesday and ryde some and had plans for spaghetti dinner on wednesday with my parents and some long time friends. This morning, I noticed dads incision area pufed way out, so, back to the Dr I took him. One look and it was back into surgery for him. I think I know every inch of the local hospital by now. He is staying overnight, and hope to bring him back home tomorrow. For now, all plans for the cuba run are on hold. Some day I will get a break and make it back there.

Life happens! Glad you were able to get your dad looked after in short order. ray:

Thanks scotty. They have great doctors here in NC. Dad is stubborn like me and its gonna be hard keeping him from doing any lifting for 2 weeks. Maybe after the second time in surgery, he will listen. .... on second thought, no he won't.

Hope all works out well SOON. Be glad you're able to be there with him.

Nothing is more important than family. Hope he'll be ok. Kids don't listen to dads. Dads don't listen to kids. :doorag:

I hope everything goes well for your dad, wish him a fast recovery!

Best wishes to your dad. The best road to quick and full recovery will be doing what the doctors tell him. I had my second hernia surgery last year (hence, I ride a Spyder rather than a big, heavy two wheeler). It just takes time.

You could always duct tape him to his easy chair...LOL. We are all our own worst enemies!

Have had 2 hernia surgery's myself, and my second one took me a good 5 months to feel 100% again. Make sure that he gets some quality recuperating time.

 

[dave01]

I may try the duct tape idea.

Not lifting things over 5 lbs was the hardest part for me-- made it difficult to urinate....:roflblack:

Ok-- seriously though--- really gotta be careful about the lifting. Had mine done years ago and it has been great ever since-- but have him follow what the doc says and DON'T LIFT stuff!

I will'pass this on to him. Laughter is the best medicine.
