Hi

She will be sore and need help with everyday things for a few weeks at least.

After my op my husband was as always amazing, cooking, cleaning, giving me the anti clot 'belly jab' every day.

I don't know how I'd have managed without him.

Also keep positive and when you can go for a short stroll outside.

Tell her to avoid sneezing for as long as posible....I used to press my nostrill in and sometimes it went away....

Good luck to you both, a day at a time and at the end of each week you will see how far you have come since the week before.

Thanks [@Ineedabreak]‍ .

The belly jab sounds intreguing!

I have no idea what to expect. Will she be in bed 24hrs a day? How much do i need to encourage her to move etc? (guess that builds up over time - I just want to get sorted with anything she's going to need in advance.)

Key for me is trying to keep her comfortable, distracted and positive!

Any learnings or pearls of wisdom on those?

Loving the sneeze tip!

Well I've had the surgery twice after my cancer came back.

Open surgery the first time and Keyhole the second.

By the time you leave hospital you are used to walking around as they get you up in hospital.

She shouldn't be in bed, get up, dressed etc will make her feel better too.

She'll need help with the dreaded green socks that you usually have to wear for 6 weeks.

If you have questions send me a friend request and I will try and answer them.
