Question
Nurse Red,my spouse has to have surgery for an Hydrocele,he is a newbie to trucking,less than four months. We have made arangements for him to have time off.He will have 8-9 days off before he has to go back, is this enough time?
------------------
Answer
It may be enough time for him to recover enough to return to work, but he may have restrictions on his activities such as now lifting, pushing or pulling over 10 pounds for a few weeks. That is entirely up to his physician. Then it will be up to the company to determine whther they can allow him to work under those restrictions or whether he needs to stay off until he is fully recovered.

Answer
Mary,
The most accurate translation into layman's terms is "accumulation of fluid in the scrotum'. Often it is a term that is used in conjunction with a hernia.
