Having your hubby there for you, is the best thing of all. He can get you water, you meds, drinks, all those little things that for the first few days you will not feel like doing. when he does go back to work, have a neighbor check up on you. I am going to be doing a major surgery myself on May 2nd. and I am now starting to get those things in order, I will be no weight bearing for 3 weeks. Need a walker etc. I am arranging the help just like you are. I hope everything turns out for you and me both. ginnie
