Help after C-Section

carrotsoup70

After my first csection I remember life being generally miserable for what seemed a long time. The only thing I remember distinctly is that my husband and I went out to dinner at 5 weeks post csection.Because of my history, I will be having a repeat csection with this baby. Here's my plan: My parents will come help for the first week and my husband will be home from work for the next week. For week 3 I have asked my niece (20 years old) to come help. She is very excited but wants to bring her boyfriend. I have never met him (and neither has anyone else in our family) but she really wants me to meet him. My first instinct was that I definitely didn't want a "guest" while feeling crappy but by week 3, do you think I will feel good enough to have someone I don't know staying with us for a few days?

 Update: All "helpers" except for DH will be from out of state. I don't have any family or close friends here.
