It's nothing close to what you'll be going through but my wife and once had knee surgery on the same day and needed 8wks each on crutches. Based on that experience and your inability to move your surgery, I'd suggest taking the next week or so and seeing if you can organize the whole house based on having "strangers" who don't know your routines helping out, you being unable to lift (example: break every bulk package into small containers that are easily lifted), and basically look at how you'll live with both of you needing to put your focus elsewhere.
