Have people use Skype to visit. Believe me you do NOT want to get an infection fresh from surgery. If you have two laptops you can have people come visit and talk from another room if they're visitors without a webcam at home and they'll be in the area. It's probably not as good as having people there in person, but this way you'll avoid a possible infection that will make it harder to recover and actually meet up with people face to face sooner.
