@nelms We cancelled my husband's hernia surgery because of his very negative reactions to general anesthesia. It may be possible for your husband to have the surgery with an epidural anesthesia depending on where the hernia is.

Actually, we just cancelled my husband’s hernia surgery, too. We ordered what looks to be a good hernia belt. I hope he wears it. It seems Lewy Body Disease requires hyper vigilance, 360 degrees, 24/7. It also requires more patience than I was naturally born with.
