My husband has a hernia too, and isn't supposed to do any heavy lifting. Sigh...

@judimahoney oh my gosh……
My occasional reaction is “What a pain in the arse!”
Is your husband waiting for surgery? My friends is. Now he’s considering going to a semi-private clinic in another province. Which will still cost thousands. Because the wait time here is 7-18 months.
Meanwhile the hernia enlarges, he’s in extreme pain or drugged with Tylenol, bored, irritable. He’s always had a low tolerance for pain. It’s a terrible situation for him.
I want the surgery to end all this, before his cognitive ability slides downhill even more.
Now I worry about the effect of the anesthetic on his brain…….
I wish we were neighbors, Judi. We could moan to each other in real life. 😁
