Banding and bummed!

I am scheduled for banding on May 9. On April 23 ( over a week ago) DH hurt his back. He has been to Dr. and PT. He can barely walk so he needs a lot of my care. Now, I don't mind that. BUT, he is supposed to take care of ME when I get my band next week. He really is only slightly better than when he got hurt. I might have to reschedule. I'm starting to think about being bummed!:cry

I'm sorry that you may have to reschedule! I know delays can be tough (my surgery was delayed for over 3 months - long story) but it will be worth the wait! I hope DH feels better soon! :eekB:

Well, DH is not ALL better, but he has improved a lot. He still has not gone to work, but is able to work from home. He just needs to rest frequently, and not sit too long. We are sure that he will be able to take me for banding next Tuesday, even if he has to have a lie-down in the back of the van.

awe Kate, its gonna be ok!

I dont think you'll need special care, just a little help here and there. Many bandsters go home to an empty environment, left to tend to themselves. I think you'll be fine. Maybe check into someone doing light housecleaning (laundry) till you are able (for a week?). And remember to stock the cupboards REALLY well before heading to the hospital. Everything's gonna work out!

This will be a great opportunity for you and your husband to have some quality time. You'll see.
