I would really strongly suggest to you (again) and plead that you stop lifting heavy stuff and stop working hard on hot days 🙏.
You had terribly traumatic surgery with blood loss, damaged artery, hernia repair , prostatectomy AND you had heart arrhythmia diagnosed. 😟 You do not wish to get new hernia forming or even something worse happening. I know that "you do not mind" working hard but it might be really too much just 10 weeks post op . Lifting heavy things and straining so early can actually impede and slow down pelvic floor recovery. : ((

I know you are right, our family has just been through a lot lately. Our granddaughter, her husband (he a journeymen plumber) and our 3 great grand children (one 7 months old) live in out daughter's basement. Our daughter (who is single now) is an APRN. She really didn't want me helping today. Granddaughter has a lot of medical bills, that is why they are in basement. The granddaughter is now in KUMC ICU after her 11th knee surgery done on Monday. The first nine surgeries were done by 2 different doctors (not from KUMC) that really screwed her knee up. The problem has something to do with kneecap after those 9 surgeries was about 6 inches up her leg and a lot more I don't understand. A couple months ago KUMC and granddaughter agreed to cut leg off above knee. Then on day of surgery to remove leg they wanted to try something that would take 3 surgeries, but hoped to save leg. They can't pull kneecap down all in one surgery as it would do too much damage.
Anyway, it a mess and I just trying to help out. With everyone having jobs and 3 great grandchildren 10 year old, 6 year old and a 7 month old, it takes a lot of juggling.
I really needed to help out as more storms coming tonight. Got limbs off roof and temporary patch on roof.
Daughter sure ask me a lot of questions as I was leaving about my medical condition.
