@jc76 - hope her recovery continues smoothly.
When you ask what she should concentrate on during the first few weeks, do you mean factors such as sleep, pain management, movement, taking medications on schedule, or something else?

She is not on MCC even though I asked her to. So as care giver any information I can get on helping her I can pass on to her. I try to help but never had this type surgery so cannot give her any experience on it.
She seems to sleep okay, pain management could use some help. She declined oxycodone. Movement help would help. She was doing very good second day home and did laundry and then has had pain in back and stomach since. She is taking a muscle relaxer but that really does a number on her as she to me is too relax as it affects her balance.
The pain, movement, suggestion on eating (she is on liquid only for two weeks) would help. IN her surgery (5.5 hour) they also removed an old mesh surgery for hianeal hernia and he sutured the area.
