I too will pray for your Daddy, Cizz. I have a hernia, too; the other day I sneezed SUDDENLY and the pressure was so great but I didn't have enough time to put my hands over the hernia to press down on it to protect it from the pressure released and the convulsing pressure from the sneeze caused a blood bruise in the middle of my hernia. I had to ice it twice a day and it finally went away. So I feel for your Dad. Praying even now.
