[quote=Anonymous]Driving is VERY challenging. I drove half a mile at a week post op and when I hit the brakes, the pain was unreal. I think caring for the baby is doable, just expect that you won't be ale to jump up and will be moving more slowly. The baby may need to fuss for a little bit longer, you should adjust your expectations about not being able to provide immediate care. If you can manage to keep everything one one floor of the house, that would make things much easier. Also, anything to stockpile some food for yourself so you don't have to do a whole lot of meal prep, either easy sandwiches, salads, frozen meals, will be a lifesaver. I did have my Mom here helping me, she mostly did meal prep and laundry, but I really think I could have managed on my own. It will be hard, but I think you can manage. The only thing that concerns me is driving. You really shouldn't be grocery shopping or lifting anything heavier than that baby. [/quote]
