If your plants are in pots, you can rig up a temporary wick watering system.

De-pot your plant, drill some 5/8" holes (3-4) in the bottom, drop some 5/8" nylon ropes through those and fray about 3-4" of the ends. Drop the plant back in the pot. Rig up a reservoir (storage tub's good) and put some planks across it for the plants. Drop the ropes into the reservoir (fray that end too). The pot bottom should be no more than about 6-8" above the waterline.

Voila, instant absentee watering system.

Surgery sucks. Hang in there, man.
