During the pre-op and immediate post-op, you'll almost definitely be turning to the hospital personnel for anything you need. I typically had that time to myself to sightsee. Go to the hospital and check on Laura, sightsee a bit, drop by the hospital, sightsee, and repeat multiple times per day for the first few days.

Towards the end of the stay in the hospital, immediately after you're discharged and during your travel home, you'll really wish you had someone to help you. If you don't want someone to stay with you the whole time, you should try to get someone to come during those last few days. Also, you'll really want help at home for some time, but I hope you've already picked up on that.
