My sister-in-law needs to have a hysterectomy. She is trying to decide when..
She has 3 kids (8, 5 and 3) and her husband works A LOT. Basically, she will have little to no help after the surgery.
Does anyone know what the recovery is like? When can she drive again, stand up and clean, cook,run errands, etc. (She is one to push the envelope, so she'll definitely do it earlier than most...)
She would like to do it over the Thanksgiving holidays, but DH and I think she will need more time and should consider doing it during the Christmas holidays.
(She lives in a different state, so we can't help out either. :( )
TIA for your help..
