i'm happy to hear your grandmother was able to get her hernia repaired. that is good news. the doctor(s) who did the surgery should have given your grandmother instructions for post-op care. if they did not she should call the doctor's office for guidance. in general people who have had hernia surgery should avoid putting stress on the abdominal muscles. usually they are told not to lift even light weights (such as a gallon of milk). but each surgeon has his or her own preferences. walking is probably fine but it may be difficult to stand up from a sitting position without putting strain on the surgical area. your grandmother may need help to sit stand and lie down. again she should contact the doctor's office for specific instructions. wishing you (and your grandmother) well!
