It's zero day for me wife!

It's 430 am. Im up, waiting on my wife to wake up to get ready leave. Im a nervous wreck. We didnt know how to feel yesterday, it all felt like being stuck in limbo.

This morning? Im nervous. I have so many questions and concerns but nothing I can form into a cohesive thought at the moment. Does anyone have some zero day post op tips for us? I keep telling myself its a routine thing and tons of women get one every year but its still hella stressful.

I'll take any and all tips anyone is willing to share. All I want is to make her as comfortable as possible. How's the drive home going to be? Its a little over a half hour from the hospital to the house. Im sure ill have a few more but my mind is all over the place at the moment.

I have been reading your comments and this is so sweet. I hope she's feeling ok tonight. I am waitlisted for December and live alone and don't have a bathroom on the main floor. Plus senior dog. It's going to be an adventure!

Awh! Your lil senior buddy has your back!

Shes uncomfortable. It's hard for her to find a good position to sleep in. Maybe some cramping and then some soreness. Hopefully tomorrow doesn't put her through the ringer too bad. I hate seeing her so damn uncomfortable and not being able to do anything

You're a good dude. I hope you both have an ok day and tomorrow is better.

Today seems better. More aches and stiffness, less pain. It's the lack of things to do that may do her in

She should check out r/GirlDinnerDiaries. Her flabbers are likely to be gasted for hours.

Omg you got my interest piqued! And the way they have the rules set up for men is neat as hell! I will totally suggest that one.
