you probably won't need a nurse. My husband took the week off to be home with me, but he ended up going back to work after about three days. His help just wasn't needed. It was nice having him around the first couple of days to get things for me, but to be honest, I probably would have been fine on my own.

My husband went back to work the next day but told his boss that I had surgery And he may need to run home a couple of times if I needed things. I didn’t even have to call him.

I live alone & I was fine. I had a couple of friends who rang or txt me each day to check I was ok. I was weary more than anything & spent a lot of time on my couch. I think @ShoppGirl’s advice is good about your husband just letting his work know he may have to pop home to help you if needed.

I had surgery May 4th also! Hope your doing good.
