I'm so glad to hear you have a place to stay and help finding an apt. That part of the prayers were answered!! As for help, check with the hospital for volunteers, there are lots of retired nurses or just kind souls that will help for free, you just need to get the word out and just maybe.... fingers crossed. Even if its someone to check on you, sit with you, help you wash your hair or bring you food. Is there a meals on wheels program? Or someone that can bring you food while you are unable to drive? Try to find some of these kind friends before your surgery. I would definately start with a counsillor or hospital volunteer list.

Thinking of you... still praying for you!

Default RE: help after surgery

Your hospital should have a patient advocate group. They can and do help you to find a companion to help you while you recover. It is indeed important to try to find an extra hand. I so wish I could be there for you to give my own hands to help. Ask at church too, even if you don't go regularily. There are also womens centers, which may help you too. I know how scared yor 9 year old can be. Just having another adult around the house for a few days should help alievate her fears too. Please be good to yourself. I am here to talk to anytime you need to. I care. ginnie

You will be walking, but not steady, and no strength! You WILL need help. (damn doctors, if they had to experience their own surgeries things would be different). I wasn't allowed to drive until my hard collar was off, you won't be able to lift grocery bags, etc... Please try and get help set up. You will need some. You will be very tired, sore and weak for a while. Also, have some sore throat lozenges and soft foods on hand for the sore throat.
