It is important to take good care of yourself in preparation of your big day but there are many other things to consider.
Here are some things I will be doing to make recovery more bearable.
Have some housecleaners come to do a deep clean- you thus elimanate any additional bacteria to provide a cleaner environment to heal.
Stock your house with small water bottles( they are easier to lift). Do remember to loosen the caps in advance so you don't have to strain yourself in opening them.
Pre-make food, or if you are the microwave dinner kind, stock up on those.
I personally recommend staying away from the high sodium junk. Instead, make something nutritious and home made to help give your body the essential vitamins and minerals you need- plus what is better than a home cooked meal when you don't feel well?
I will be making my moms lasagne and mash potatoes the night before and a lemon meringue pie- my favorite comfort food!
Remember to stock your house with saltines and pop for any initial nausea( which comes from the anestesia wearing off and any prescription pain medication.( Stop the pain meds if you feel ill and use tylenol instead) You might want light stuff like jello too. I'll be stocked with bacon and home made biscuits too- I need a big breakfast.
Have someone help you recover- I have a MIL coming for 7 days. The nice thing about that is that she'll take care of any house errands and cooking!
