only 22 more sleeps to go, nearly didn't make it. husband developed an inguinal hernia, in agony and seriously incapacitated :(, consultant listed him for surgery 8th march. As we are due to go 13th March we had to do something drastic, presented at a/e and he was operated on yesterday clips come out next Sat and we just hope he heals well.

I hate to say it but skiing so soon after an operation for this type of hernia is a tough ask, personally I wouldn't risk it. Hope it works out for you both.

As much as it would drive me insane, I am with Finn. Thats too much to ask after such an op.
I'd get your money back on insurance, or postpone to next season.

Hi, thanks for all replies and good wishes, husband is making a good recovery but we have so looked forward to our ski fix he wants to have a go. I dont think he will be silly and if he finds it difficult he has valliantly said he will sit it out. We still have 3 weeks to go and only time will tell, although we have only been skiing for a short time (this will be our 3rd time) the thought of cancelling -cant bear to think about it. if it doesn't work out it will be a tough one. :cry:

Several years ago any-one who had a hernia op were advised not to even drive a car for 6 weeks after, not sure if thats the same now. I am with the others, postpone for a while. Its not worth the risk and there could be trouble with travel insurance because of an existing injury so to speak.

I know how you feel! I was told to cancel my trip after getting a knee op, but went anyway - wore a brace, took it easy and did no harm! good luck anyway and more importantly tell him to get well soon!
