I think you should go home for your recovery and get a visiting nurse to help out. Your children will be fine with you coming home. Your children will need you and you will need them.

The night before my 11th birthday my mom was taken by ambulance to the hospital. The thing I remember most is that I cried after she left and my older sister started crying. My mom was in the hospital for about two months and when she came home we both celebrated our birthday on the same day that year. We stayed at my grandparents and also my mom stayed at my grandparents when she first came home from the hospital. At the time I did not know how sick my mom was and my little sister was only two weeks old. My aunts took turns caring for my newborn sister.

When I was 16 teen my mom was in a bad car accident and broke her back.
The gas tank exploded when her car was hit from behind. Thank you to who ever pull my mom out of her burning car. I remember cooking dinner, doing laundry, driving my mom around in the car and helping her put on her back brace. Before I saw my mom my dad brought home her charred purse and then I got to see the framed of the car at the gas station. I was so glad to see her alive at the hospital.
 
Thanks

Please do not go to a nursing home for post operation. You will be a lot better off at home. I'm sure your children & husband will be happier to see you at home & wanting to be near by to help you. Your insurance may cover visiting nurse service, your area or hospitals may have volunteers to come in to help you. Talk with the Social worker at hospitals. Some hospitals have re hap on their premises where you stay, yur insurance may cover it. Look into all avenues befor choosing a nursing home. Loretta
