My husband's good about helping, and feels bad when he can't; but he does grumble about it sometimes lol. Seems like every time I needed him he had to work, but he had to go so we could pay the bills! When I had my surgery last year he took off for the surgery and the day after, but we couldn't afford for him to be off the 3rd day; then he had a wreck on his way home. 2 days post surgery and I had to load an infant and 20 month old in the van to go get him; worst experience ever! I'd had a hard time in recovery, ended up having to stay overnight in the hospital even though it was an outpatient surgery. Couldn't stand up, then my blood pressure bottomed out, and every time I tried to sit up I had muscle spasms along the bottom of my ribs. Couldn't use my stomach muscles for days. It's hard to get out of bed when you can only use your arms!
Reliving that memory makes me feel for you Keyzy, I hope your recovery is smooth and uneventful!
