Recovering & Single

I'm 3 weeks post op and have read a lot about all the DH's out there, good & bad, supportive ones & the not so supportive ones. Anyone out there single with DC's at home?

not sure what a DC is, but I'm seperated, living with my 80 y/o mom and 12 y/o daughter. very lonely, but am making it work ! so glad i found this site!

Single and came home to my empty house. I loved it that way. Parents were 6 miles away and offered to take care of me but it would have been too stressful. DD (darling dog) was away at camp for a week...I picked him up at the one week mark.

I am a divorced mom (4 years) with two kids at home, ages 10 and 8. Monday I have surgery at 845 am..... I am scared to death!!!!! And lonely and scared and all of the crazy emotions everyone else has..... but I do have a lot of friends to take care of me... today has been a very difficult day for me emotionally.

I have stage 1b cervical cancer and am looking at some chemo and radiation after rad. hyst.

thanks for the post, good to know I'm not alone.... well in cyberspace at least

DC = Dear Cats??? :-D

My two furbabes stayed at the wonderful cat boarding kennel where I used to work.

I was at my mom's for about a week after the surgery...and kitties and I came home about 10 days after my surgery. Mom carried the carrier - each kitty is about 14 lbs!

I sure loved that one pure week of being at home with my kitties, puttering with my plants...and being just able to scoop the litterbox and keep it clean! NB - I don't use clumping litter, but think it would have been MUCH heavier to deal with.

Hope your recovery goes well. Do you have a friend or two to shop for you - or are you up to driving now?

I am single as well. What does DC mean? I am confused on that as well.

I'm single, too, with a 22 y/o DD.

DD was the best. She's a lot like me in that she doesn't like to be fussed over, so she managed to strike just the perfect balance between being there when I needed her and letting me rest when I needed to do that.

She stayed at the house with me for the first week, but was gone at work each day, and I did fine with just the dog and cat.
