I have been hiking, bowling, done some yoga and gone dancing. I have also done daily active stuff such as carrying heavy boxes during an office move, running up and down stairs, hauling brush around in the yard, trimming trees and hedges, planting and watering plants etc.

I don't play golf so I can't say how all that compares in ativity level, and I will say that I didn't do this kind of stuff until several weeks had passed after my present PEG tube was inserted (but not because I was worried about losing the PEG, it was because I had had a more serious surgery right after the PEG was put in and was feeling very weak and in pain from that) , so maybe there's a difference between me and your fatehr in law, but I wonder if in his case they put it in right or made the incision too large or something.
