What Can I Do to Help? Posted: 04-28-04 23:42pm


My mom is scheduled to have a hysterectomy may 11 (right after mother's day). I was wondering how I could best be a help to her as she is recovering. I'm 24 and I work most of the day, but my evenings are mostly free. What is the best way to help her recover quickly?

Lots of Help Posted: 04-30-04 03:01am


Hi, she will need a lot of help, she will need to rest and not be getting in and out of bed a lot. I had my surgery 5 weeks ago and didnt have much help and I am healing up slowing simply because I didnt have much help, she will not be able to mop, sweep, vacuum or pick up anything more than 5 pounds. She will need to lay down most of the time. Good luck to you and your mom!! Take care, pat
