Margie, that sounds like a fairly large procedure, confirmed by an anticipated 7 days in the hospital. Recovery will likely be difficult. I hope you'll have some help at home. One common mistake is for (mostly women) go home and immediately start taking care of everyone else with cooking and cleaning. Men have no problem letting everything in the house go... their problem is returning playing soccer or hockey too fast!

Good luck to you... please let us know how it goes.
