I got home yesterday around 2:30 and I was pretty tired so I didnt have a chance to message anyone. 
I had to stay an extra day in the hospital because I couldnt keep the protein drinks down.  I had to have some kind of anti inflammatory medication through IV.  So once I had that I started feeling much better.  I wasnt in much pain at all, I mostly just felt a little uncomfortable at times.
My nurse was Dena and she helped out with alot of things. 
This has not been a bad experience at all.  I have been hearing terrible stories but at the hospital I was in everyone was very polite and ready to help me with anything. 
I gained about 10 lbs in the hospital which Im guessing is from the IV fluids but it quickly came back off. 
So as of today I have a little bit of soreness but nothing I cant tolerate and Im trying to get in all my fluids.

Welcome home!  Sorry you had to stay an extra day at the hospital but it's great that you had such a good experience.  That is so awesome you had our Dena as your nurse.  Bet we all wish we could have her caring for us...I know I do!  I hear that the hospital weight gain comes off super fast with some extra pounds to boot.  Congrats and ENJOY!
