I will never understand the constant interruptions in the hospital. I got almost no sleep in the 4 nights I spent there after having my son by c-section (a long story in itself...my OB was an a-hole). Unlike other surgeries, everyone thinks they need to come visit a new mom and the baby. So I couldn't sleep during the day when people were in and out to see the kid, then at night the nurses were in about every hour...I'm a horribly light sleeper. I was in tears by the time we left...I was so tired after 12 hours of labor, then surgery, then trying to care for my new baby, and staff in at all hours. One nurse came in and woke me up--to make sure I was OK (not even to check vitals). Yeah, jerk, I was fine...until you woke me up!
Some women think having a baby in a hospital is like a vacation. I think they're off in the head.
I hope your hubby is able to get some rest. I firmly believe that sleep is THE most important factor for recovery from just about anything.
