childcare day/days after surgery

[kslicemama 8]

I am wondering how many days I will need help with my toddler. I am a single mother and asking my step-mom to come stay with us. She lives 4hrs away and is great but has a family of her own. (I can't keep her forever:)) I know overnight for surgery, but how many days before I'm back running after a 2yr old?

I am also wondering about this... I have 3 kids that I will return to after surgery and carry the load of running the household... how many days should I expect to need help with kids and housekeeping chores (e.g. lifting laundry baskets, cleaning, grocery shopping, etc...)?

I actually work with toddlers! I'm a daycare teacher. I was under no lifting over 10lbs for a month, but was able to return to work after two weeks. Not lifting was hard haa good luck! !
