Finally Home with sleeve in tow

Hi everyone,
I am finally home Yay!!! My neseau was so terrible after the surgery that I had to stay an extra night, I finally convinced them to take my IV's out which were making it worse. I have very difficult veins and the medication was only partly draining into the vein and then partly in to the tissue. My right arm is hugely swollen and sore...but the neseau has subsided.

I was walking 10 minutes after being brought into the recovery room. I had to go to the bathroom soooo bad, and once i realized there was no cathedar, I had to go even worse. Getting out of the bed was hard but nothing like the puking for 2 days.

Thankfully the hospital is only 20 minutes from my house so the ride home was not so bad.
Ive been tappering off my pain medication only because its liquid and is super hard to get down.
Ive been sipping on water and protein shakes since last night and besides feeling tired, im feeling pretty well.

Definitely glad to be home, but dreading all this school work I have to catch up on. Ugh!
Thanks everyone for all the support. I could hear all the pings of postings on my phone but just didnt have the stomach to fiddle with it ( No pun intended lo).
