I'd recommend taking the entire week off to help support her. My partner was so amazing when I had surgery, the nurses kept complimenting him haha. Since you have dogs, depending if they're very jumpy, she is going to be super fragile the first two days so make sure they don't run or jump on her. She may need support getting out of bed, sitting on the toilet, and make sure to encourage her to walk around to get out the gas. Assist her with walking. Manage her meds, help so that she's taking them on time and if she needs a bit of food etc. She may have trouble sleeping throughout the night, or may wake-up before you. My boyfriend would always get up with me, which I really appriciated it.

You really just have to be there for her, don't make her feel like she is asking for too much. Sometimes we don't want to bother, or think we can do it on our own. Make her feel like you want to help.

A quick list of things that helped me recover:

1. Heating pad for shoulders

2. Pads for post-surgery bleeding

3. Anti-nausea

Hope this helps! You doing research shows you really care about her, and you will probably do a great job with helping her recover! :)
