My Brother

My brother had hernia surgery Friday. I called him today to see how he was doing. He was actually doing well but his doctor told him not to drive, ride his bicycle or pick up over ten pounds for a month so he was getting restless. He is always busy and doesn't know what to do with himself if he isn't busy.
He was recently married so I told him this was a good time to spend time with his new wife. She was driving and they were on their way to see her grandson get an award at his school. He's the one I wrote about sometime ago who lost his wife to suicide. So I was especially happy when he found a good woman he wanted to marry.

If you brother follows the doctors directions, he'll be back on his feet in no time! The question is, as a newlywed is wifey going to want to wait until he heals before she wants a little hanky-panky? lol

@RubyHawk Hopefully so. Tough it out on the front end so she can enjoy many good years with him on the back end!

@moffittjc That's the way to do it. And probably just what she's thinking.

yes, good to know he is following the doctor's advice to not strain himself, not carry heavy loads, and keep himself restful.

@ridingbet He wouldn't have gone in for surgery if it hadn't hindered his work so I don't believe he'll want to do it over again.

Hope the month flies by for him so he can do those things again soon.

Hubby has had three hernia surgeries. Once to repair the original one. I wonder if he could be part of the lawsuit that is going on. I am glad your brother has a supportive new family and can relish the time off while he is forced to take it easy.

Hope your brother makes a full recovery from his surgery. Congrats on his new marriage.
