Debbie,
You need to slow down, one step at a time girl! Go easy on the housework, the kids are not going to notice dust! Let your DH finish the cleaning after he finishes the floor.
Make sure you are infection free and not stressed before going into surgery, you don't want to do something like I did and push yourself too hard before surgery and having a relapse!
I am kicking myself with the walking problems I'm having. I'm praying they are temporary.
Please take it easy and enjoy the holidays and put off your surgery if you can.
