What support were you told to have before the surgery?

Before your surgery, did they tell you that you'd need extra support at home or was that something that you had to figure out a little bit later on when it all happened? Well I did realise, now whether I was specifically told or not I don't remember, certainly I realised that yes I would need extra support and you know my wife was able to organise a lot of that and we have a team at church who do just that sort of thing when it's needed, you know, and they were brilliant and they rallied round. And the funny thing is, now that the support is no longer needed, of course what I miss is having people just calling in and saying hi. I'm not too bad now because I can go out and say hi to people but at the time it was something I missed but yeah.
