Day surgery
I was scheduled to stay 2 nights, ended up staying 3 under 24hr care. I wasn't high risk, just the common practice in my surgeons hospital wing.
I can't imagine how horrible it would have been if I went home the same day. On day two I fainted trying to get up to pee. The surgeon said it was probably due to blood loss, and ordered 2 units of blood. Then I had a fever for a day and a half from the blood transfusion, and was in even more pain. If I was at home, it would have been a huge ordeal.
