What an awful re-introduction to cycling! Last year my BF had both hips replaced in separate surgeries, with about a 5 week recovery period for each. Fortunately I wasn't working then, since at the beginning taking care of him often felt like a full-time job. But, it does get easier, and your husband will probably become more self-sufficent with each passing week. Think of his recovery as a team effort, and do what you gotta do.
