Surgery Update

Hi Everyone,
Today I was feeling 80% better because I was still in a lot of pain, but it was not as bad. I got up more and could not stay still. I was ready to go home depsite the pain I was in. I still have the spasms, and it makes me hurt. It hurts when I cough and yawn too. My doctor came to visit and told me that he would release me after dinner but I was like "Oh, I was hoping to go home sooner," so he said, "Okay, how about after lunch, how does that sound?" I said, "That sounds much better. I had one more medicine that had to go through the iv, and then after that went through it was taken out. A shower was set up for me, but I think they wasted a lot of water because I was not ready for like 20 minutes because I had a visitor. When I went to take my shower; I had everything except soap and shampoo, so I had to ring the bell so they could bring me that. It felt sooooooo good to be able to get cleaned up and refreshed and I was ready to go home. I really liked all of the nurses that I had. They were terrific and I was relieved to go home finally.
I was in a lot of pain after I came home, but I managed to watch an hr of tv, and then fell asleep because the medicine made me tired. I went to bed again last night at about 11:45 or so, but definitely before midnight.
