My hubby & I have just had LBS one week apart.
Our initial reason was because we had to travel to have the surgery, and we have decided not to tell many people - especially immediate family. So doing it this way meant we could go one at a time and the other could stay home with the kids and no outside babysitting help was required. We haven't told our kids 10 & 6 either. When it was time for us to travel, we just told our kids we had work/business stuff to tend to in the city. This isn't unusual so they didn't question it.
Now that we have had the surgery - I am 3 days post op, I am so glad we did it with some time in between! I never expected to be this sore! I am just starting to get around without too much trouble on day 3. I flew home the day after surgery and that was tuff - just having to walk around and get myself where I had to be - OUCH! But my hubby says he wasn't as sore as me - maybe I'm just a wuss! He says he felt like he'd been kicked in the guts and I said I flet like I'd been run over by a truck!!
So, I think it's great to be able to do it with your spouse for the support and encouragement, but for physical reasons, especially with kids, I do not recommend it on the same day! The hard part will be flippin the coin to see who goes first! :thumbdown:
Cheers,
