Glad to hear Lisa. Pain won't last long and you're right, you don't sleep very well in any hospital. I didn't have a BM for more than a week and also burped a lot.
Get plenty of rest and walk to relieve the gas. You're doing really well. Welcome to the Loser's Bench - getting longer every day, or are we all getting smaller? lol
