Wow! That's an awful lot for any one to do, never mind someone who is recovering from surgery. I'm in pain just reading about your day! Can you afford to take the next couple of days off to rest? If not, is there someone who could come in to help you - even if it's just to care for your own baby if dc regulations say they can't help with the dc kids? Can someone else take over Thanksgiving duties for you? Would the in-laws understand if you begged off for this year?

Try to be careful about pushing yourself too much before you heal from your surgery. If you hurt yourself, you could be out of work for a lot longer than if you take some time to rest and recover now. I hope tomorrow is a better day for you.
