We met with the surgeon last week for a post-surgery follow-up. The surgeon answered our questions and said that everything looked good. He told us that George should be careful not to lift anything heavier than 25 lb for six weeks. Even though the incision through which he excised the bowel is just a few inches long, George could still develop a hernia if he lifts anything heavy before he is fully healed. He had anlready lifted some jerry cans full of diesel before we learned that. For the next three weeks I will either do the lifting myself or help George.
We have electric winches so raising the sails won’t be an issue. We both believe that we will be able to sail again whenever the weather allows. We may have a small weather window in a few days. We plan to sail as far as we can before the next cold front arrives.
