Hi Glo
sounds like all went really well with your husband's op. Confusion in the early days is normal. It should settle as the healing process/recovery process from surgery kicks in. Keep an eye on things though and if you feel its not improving please reach out to your medical team.
I remember being terrified the day we brought my husband home after his op. He was SO confused and making very little sense. I was scared that this was what life was going to be like from there on it but it passed and he became more coherent. It's hard for kids to see a parent that they are use to seeing as so string suddenly appear vulnerable. My kids were 20 and 22 when their dad had their op and it has been a huge amount for them to take on board and process. I hope your 20 year-old comes round. Give them space.
There's a lot of great information on the main website that might be a help over the coming days/weeks. Here's the link Supporting someone | Macmillan Cancer Support Please also remember you can reach out to the helpline too. The number is below.
Take things one step at a time. It's a lot for you to process too and it takes time.
