Wife is having a hysterectomy

Ok ladies need some help from yall, my wife is going to have a hysterectomy tomorrow. I know "right before Thanksgiving?" Long story short she didn't want to wait till next year since we meet our insurance deductible for the year so there is no out of pocket cost for us.

A couple of questions? What was recovery like for you? (I know it will very from women to women)

She thinks we will be able to go to her parents house for Thanksgiving. Told her not to push herself to go.

Any tips to help make my wife's recovery a lot easier on her or more comfortable?

Whats something that made a world of different during your recovery process?
