Wow, two days apart. My heros. I am hoping you will have at least one helper to assist you at home for about a week. Having that hand to pull me up to a sitting position was important. I did not lay down a lot though I slept sort of sitting up for almost 2 weeks. Anyway, am praying for you and your huband. My 35th birtday is th 27th of September and I guess you guys can't come to my party, you will be a little busy. I am very happy for the both of you. I feel wonderful, and now for the advice. Walk, Walk, Walk. As soon as you can. Listen to your doctor and take your back scratcher and your chap stick to the hospital. You will need both, I scratched more than my back with mine. See you two on the other side...Trina
