Dad’s Got a “Manly Rupture”

Hi sweetie:

Dad had to go to the VA today, because of a pain in his…ahem…groin area, wtih burning sensation that he said was like having hot sauce on him. (interesting way to put it,don’t you think ?).  Anyways, he just called, and he has a rupture, and they are scheduling surgery in the next month or so.  If it should burst, he must go to the emergency room immediately.  I know nothing about manly ruptures, but am going to google it to find out more.
Do we ever have a normal issue in our family ?  I thought he just had a hernia !
I’ll keep you posted.
Love,
Mom

Something tells me that Googling “manly rupture” is a terrible idea.

Your mom is a great writer. “I know nothing of manly ruptures.”
