When to have surgery?

I need advice....my grandfather has become very ill. I am very close to my grandfather and help take care of him. My surgery was tentatively scheduled for late June. Should I go ahead with the surgery or postpone it? How long will my recovery be ? Thanks everyone #heavyheart

    This is something you really will need to decide for yourself. Is his illness life-threatening? You will really need to be able to focus on yourself and your recovery after surgery.

I agree with serenity. This surgery requires you to be very focused on everything you put in your mouth. With that said, within 2-4 weeks after the surgery you should be able to still care for him.
