Pamela H in Texas Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 would you do anything special to get the family/home ready? I'm seriously drawing a blank here. Everything (swim lessons, adoption physicals, big kid work schedules, etc) is on the calendar. I figure I'll have laundry done. I mean, I *know* I'm indespensible, but I sooooo believe that for just a couple days without me, he can handle it. But maybe I'm forgetting something. Surgery is Wednesday. I should be okay by the weekend. Dr. said I could pick up my 3yo by the 3rd day. Surgery is laproscopic so "easy." I am staying one night (but 23 or less hours by state law). I think they'll be fine.

T'smom Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 They will be fine. If you WANT to- you could get meals ready that are easy to heat up. But it wouldn't be necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeefreak Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I've been through this a couple of times. The best thing I did was to make freezer meals. I'd make at least 3-5 days of meals including breakfast (muffins, burritos, pancakes). Not so much for you, but for your family. Also, rent a bunch of movies or sign up for Netflix. That way, you're able to do something with your kiddos without really DOING something KWIM? Buy lots of bottled water, apple juice and other fluids to get your innards moving. Bottled because than you can even send your little ones to get it for you. Are you going to have to do a cleanse? If so, buy some A&D ointment. PM me if you don't understand why.;) :grouphug: and prayers for you! Dorinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
