Hi everyone, it looks like I'll be having surgery in the next three months and am starting to wonder if I'll be the only one recuperating at home by myself. Lots of you seem to have a husband or a mum within shouting distance.
I am lucky, I have 3 sisters living in the same city and my mum too. She offered to come and stay with me but it might be a bit hard on her being a nurse (she's 75). I can go and stay with one of my sisters after the operation but I think I might want the comfort of my own bed.
Is there anyone else there who lives alone and how long was it before you were able to survive without a live-in buddy.
One more thing, my shower is in the bath, not separate, and it won't be possible to place a plastic chair in there as it slopes (I might be able to put a shelf across the bath, to sit under the shower). So will I be better off in someone else's house with a flat floor to the shower? And will I be able to step over the side of the bath anyway??
Or is there a nice male nurse out there who'd like to get married real soon? Ha ha.
