Best of luck Fairy Michelle. One tip: do you have any cordless phones in the house? I had one next to the bed and used to make sure one of my sons had one of the others to hand. Then I could 'page' them for cups of tea etc ...

Hope you've got lots of help coming in as well as DH, that can be a huge bonus! We had meals cooked and delivered while I was in hospital, not that they couldn't have fended for themselves but it meant DH could concentrate on visiting me and I didn't have to worry about what they were all eating.

Thanks for the tip but it is only a small house and I have a large voice. My MIL is happy to feed the children occaisionally and she only lives up the road. My DH and my eldest son (16) are going to share the hospital visiting between them bringing one or both of the other children up each day. I am more concerned at the fact that I will not be able to do things for a while
Scouts and my theatre company being the main ones. Oh well it needs to be done and I will feel a lot better afterwards and its' only a couple of months.

:rotfl: Normally, so do I, but there were a few days when that phone was a godsend! Glad you have MIL help and a hand with visiting: my boys declined to come and see me while I was in: I'd have thought they'd have enjoyed inspecting any tubes and gory stuff, but they went all squeamish on me! Mind you they booted me out after four days so it wasn't too long to be missing them, and I was unconscious for one of those days, not very conscious for the next, and raring to go after that!

Actually maybe not quite raring to go ...
