Let the father sleep

It is cool in the morning, it would be nice to leave the house. Unfortunately, the operation has left some damage and an infection. It is necessary to visit the bathroom and the occupation there is painful. Tiredness serems to be encroaching from all sides. It is possible to make breakfast and to read the news. Then, reading the news a sudden wave of tiredness. Lie down, sleep, until the next call of nature puts an end to all of that. 
It is uncomfortably hot, and this rearward portion of the old house is poorly insulated, it is icy in winter and really hot in this kind of weather. Open all the doors and the windows, for there are no blinds to keep the sun out.

Try to read again, answer an  email and then collapse back into bed again.
This continues all day. 
The son and the wife go about their business.
Let the father sleep.

Manage to get an appointment at a doctor's practice tomorrow. Let us hope that this doctor will prescribe antibiotics, they would most likely solve this painful problem.

Go back to sleep until the booming voice of the neighbour makes sure that sleep is impossible. Neither he nor his son can speak in any other mode but loudly.
