Thanks all, the original op was a keyhole gall bladder op, the hernia has popped through one of the sites on right side of tummy.
I always have a puzzle book and pen in my bag, I hate just sitting.
Parking not really an issue, I will drive to son's, he will take me to hospital and drop me off, then go home.
I am a bit puddled usually with a general, so will contact him when I am allowed back home.
(Last general I had (hip) I spent two days trying to knit hospital sheets with my fingers) ROFL.
