    I had emergency surgery but had to be in hossy for 3 days prior and 2 days after as it was a very bad case and I was in alot of pain! That being said - I was good as gold about 4 days after - I would stilltake it slow but I was able to lift DD and do most things - I got tiered late in the day but thats about it. I had the week after my op off work but really I could have gone back (only 2 days a week).

    When I had mine done, the recuperation was less about wound pain and more about getting over the GA...it took about 2 weeks to really get back to normal, but during that second week I was still tired and needed to rest more. 9 days sounds like a good stretch to have DH home, I think I had mine for the better part of a week, and was able to manage ok after that. Try not to fret too much, as surgery goes this is pretty minor provided it's the keyhole scenario.
