Hi Everyone
This is my first post, My husband is having his Kidney removed in two weeks by keyhole after a tumour was found incidentally having a scan for something else.
We've had a shocking last couple of years with other things and this on top of everything is very overwhelming but we're trying to stay positive.
What I would like advice on is, What can I do to help him post surgery, I know they will tell us once he's had the operation but at the moment I feel so helpless and want to try and be prepared.
Ive got him a cough cushion but that's it at the moment, Google comes up with so many different outcomes for post surgery so thought if anyone here has had the same, What made your life easier?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
