Discharged almost exactly 24 hours after my surgery started. Should have had them give me a new dose of pain meds before i left. My morning dose wore off and the bumps on the ride home were pretty uncomfortable.

The ride home is rough. Now relax on the couch, watch some TV, and start sipping!

Hopefully the pain will become more manageable soon. Glad you are home and doing okay. Keep us posted on how things are going. I am on the pre-op diet with my surgery date of Feb. 28th. So I guess I will be in your shoes soon.
