Re: im on my own:(
I agree with what everyone here has said, but I do have one more thing to add. Now that your husband seems to understand that you really do need time to heal, don't be in too much of a hurry to get back to your normal self. As soon as you "look okay," everyone forgets you've just had surgery and they expect too much of you. You'll need to rest, you'll need to avoid lifting heavy things, you'll need time to get back to your old self again (or better than old self!). But when you don't look sick or weak on the outside, they don't realize how much healing work is still going on inside. So be sure to ask for help! Tell him when you need help lifting or moving things--even baskets of laundry. Have him take on some of the tasks you are too tired to do, or simply leave them undone.
You only have one chance to heal, so do it right!
