Hi Nanmo, 16 days post op I think you are doing well. I'm at 6-weeks and if I feel I need the walker I grab it. By 3-weeks I was able to move around the kitchen without it, but that was about all. My doctor wanted me to try and walk every hour for a few minutes increasing weekly. I did that and it really helped to get my strength back. I also take a shower every day. At first, I was ready to collapse, and my hair wasn't really dry but that was my gauge on how I was doing. I still have to make dinner in steps and nothing too complicated. My husband will barbeque a day and there is always pizza which takes some of the pressure off. My daughter has been keeping us in soup. I do the laundry if he helps carry the basket. He changes out my ice for me. I never know what he will come home with when he goes to the grocery store with my list. I know he is trying. I'm sure your husband is as well. This is all new to him so talk about it with him.
