interesting topic because i am going thru this also!! my hubby is having reconstructive surgery on his leg, from a accident , next week and he will be done for 8 weeks, then in 3 weeks i am having a hysterectomy (sp) but my insurance wants me to go to a hospital 100 miles (they wont pay out of network for me to go here i town) away so i will be gone for a few days and when i get home we will both be confined to the house !! this will be a true test on our marraige and how well my son (that lives in town) will be there for us !!! so i am looking for some ideas also
