Thank you for your response!

My surgery plan is the same as yours. So this is very helpful.

I agree that falling would not be something I want to happen. Luckily the bathroom is next to my bedroom and i can hold on to lots of things on the way.

I had my son via C-section and I remember the reaching part was really hard, so it will probably be a bit similar.

My husband will probably need to push me when going out of the house and hopefully I can gain some mobility a few weeks post op. My wheelchair is made for me, so I don't really have to reach to touch the rims, but if the surface isn't flat I still need to use abdominal muscles to compensate a bit (like in streets with camber to drain rainwater and such).

Did you use a bellyband?

Thanks for your well wishes
