Hello! It feels like this is a long time coming but now that the ball is rolling, I’m feeling woefully unprepared. I have signed my FMLA paperwork, I’m getting my house in order, and making my list for what I’ll need for the post-op recovery. My doc made it sound easy-peasy, but this sub is giving great insight into reality 😅😅

Would love to hear what has worked for you, what’s been useless, any suggestions on how to make life easier in the weeks following? I am a single mom of four with mostly my mother helping, so anything that will help not only my physical recovery but keeping life running smoothly would be greatly appreciated!
