for now though. they said if his hernia gets larger though, he's going to have to get surgery. but for now he just needs to go in every two weeks to the veteran clinic near and get a check up. i still just don't get why they can't just do the surgery now. I hate how they're all "it's not that bad YET so you don't need surgery now." i guess it can heal on it self but not 100% guarantee it will. so now he's just on meds...well i'm glad he's okay for now. now i feel much better...just still a little worried.
