Hi. I am going into hospital on 5th March to have my hernia repaired. I live alone, so would appreciate some advice on how I might cope once I am discharged. My surgeon told me I would not be able to lift anything heavier than a kettle of water for 6 weeks. I would be interested to know how people have managed, how much pain might I be in, how long before I will be able to get out for short walks etc.
Thanks
Kim
