I'm late on this one, but my wishes as well for a speedy recovery. I had my hysterectomy a year and a half ago and I can't say I miss my uterus.
Remind your wife (as my doctor reminded me) that, even when she thinks she's feeling up to it, a loaded laundry basket is over the weight limit!
I fortunately had a very quick recovery as far as pain and such, so it was very difficult for me not to do yardwork when it was a beautiful fall day. And I couldn't even go grocery shopping alone because even a gallon of milk is over the weight limit.
Again, best wishes for you ad your wife.
