He saw the dr on fri & told him what he had done while underneath the house-he's torn the thin membrane that runs between 2 vertical muscles in the stomach area-doc told him to wait 2 months & see how it feels-if it really bugs him,it's a quick fix-but if it doesn't bug him all that much to just leave it alone. Relieved it wasn't more serious.....
I sure hope it heals with out any problems. I tore my rotor cuff and it's been 5 months of pain. It is getting better with PT but it still hurts. Tell your dad the same thing my doctor told me. Slow down your getting older. That also hurt but it's the truth, and it takes longer for us old people to heal.
Sherrie: I hope your dad recovers swiftly. I'll keep him in my prayers. Marly

Thank you ladies! yes I know he should slow down-but he thinks he's 50 or so. Plus-he knows what plumbers charge & wanted to spare himself a big bill....
Sherrie I'm glad for the good report. It's hard to slow down. I had a car accident several years ago and I have had to slow down. I feel for your dad! Will be praying.
