Hi babe. I did, I have a 1 year old and a 2 year old. I think the first 2 weeks are the hardest. My in laws took my kids to the apartment in Spain for 10 days and I still struggled when they came back. My son is so high maintainable it was hard work lifting him up 24/7. It definately changed around 2 weeks post op though I felt loads better. It’s definately do able though if you have a bit of help xxx
