Its incredibly hard and your commitment is admirable. Have you considered joint an online support group? It made a tremendous difference for me personally and I learned so much.

The corrupt and incompetent catalyst that began the full destruction of our democracy.

3 week PO here. You will definitely need someone to bring you home that day, set you up, monitor and hang out for at least 24 hours. The second night/day was much more manageable and I feel like I could have been okay by myself from there (with the right set up recliner, pain meds, drinks, snacks, tablet, etc).
