After surgery....

[pw725 12]

I am scheduled for surgery in a couple of week and was wondering when you came home from the hospital did you need to have someone there with you or will I be ok to be by myself? Thanks.

I didn't have anyone with me throughout the day(kids at school and husband at work) and I did fine! They just set up my chair with my fluids on ice meds..ect and I was good until Everyone came home! I didn't have any complications though so I was ok.

You'll be fine. It's actually good for you to move around and do your own stuff. Just don't lift anything. If you need to lift something, wait until someone else can do it for you

You will be fine alone. I was alone during the day and actually was happy about it because the gas gods were not good to me. It sounded like a shooting range in my house, but since I was alone, I didn't worry about it. (and I am happy to report no animals were hurt by the cross fire) Sorry if that was TMI! I had my surgery on a Thursday, was released from the hospital on Saturday, was off 1 full week and back to work on the following Monday, with no problems, and most importantly, no gas heehee! Good luck! You will be just fine

My husband drove me home and spent the day with me which I think helped a lot with the getting up since I was a bit sore. I definitely appreciated and loved that he was there, but I'm sure I could have managed for several hours without him. He just made it all a lot easier.
