Hi @Stone90, so sorry you are in this situation. You're right that this online community is great thing. It helped me get through my treatment a couple of years ago. Everyone is supportive and you can ask anything.
It is a shame your surgery got pushed back after all your arrangements were put into place. Hopefully you have been able to adjust those with the date change.
Will your friend be able to stay with that changed date? Do you have other support? The surgery will be ok but you will need time to recover.
If you can make a few meals ahead of time that's good to do but otherwise take all the help you are offered. This is a time for you do really pur yourself first. That's hard with young children for sure but when help is offered take it. Don't feel guilty.
I am sure you are a great mum and you are going to keep being a great mum. Your children know you love them and you are continuing to love them. Love is the most important thing they need.
One day at a time and just take deep breaths regularly. It helps so much so much with the stress and gives you mini time outs when you are a busy mum.
Let us know how you go. Best wishes to you 💐
