  1. I had a two year old when I had my surgery last December. I was nervous too, especially with the lifting restrictions but it went great. I had help the first week but after day 7 it was all me. They say not to lift more than 15 pounds but I ended up cheating on that and I had no problems. Im not suggesting going against doctors orders but I just did what I had to do and it was much easier than I thought it would be. Ask your kid to climb up into car seats and put dinner plates where they can easily reach it so you can skip high chairs. The moving around cleaning up and getting kids ready for school, etc. went easy peasy. I was ready to get back into the routine after 6 days of laying around.


  2. Yes, I only told my husband and I am so so thankful that I didn't tell anyone else. If you are single and are telling absolutely no one I think you will have to hire a nurse to drive you home from the hospital and maybe get you settled in for a half a day. Other than that, totally do-able on your own. I went to hospital by myself and wanted to take an Uber home but the Dr. told me I needed someone to stay with me for 24 hours. Good luck!
