Having recently gone through a hysto in the fall for adenomyosis (endo inside the uterine walls) and fibroids, the best gift I got was from my sister in law: a basket with a bag of my favorite candies (sugar babies), a 'brain candy' book (funny, easy to read, not hard to put down when I was sleepy), a puzzle book, a fuzzy throw, and a small stuffed animal. It was great! She also came and got my kids and carted them around. Me, too, when I was about 3 - 4 weeks out and not allowed to drive but going stir crazy at home for the hour or two I was awake  . We went to lunch and a movie one day, and to my daughter's first soccer game another. This was almost better than the basket, because after the first week or two, everyone goes back to their normal routine and you're still stuck "on the couch". Also the dinners that fed my kids and hubby after the initial "rush" of meals the first two weeks was a nice break whenI felt well enough to tell the kids to throw it in the overn, but couldn't lift it to do it myself.
