Good luck! Walk, sip, rest, repeat will be your mantra for the next few days.

Congrats and good luck! Get up and walk as soon as they ask if you feel up to it! I couldn't sleep well in the hospital unless I was doped up and pretty much wore a path down the hallway and back the rest of the time when I was awake :P get as much fluids in as possible, and don't be afraid to take pain meds if you need them. Can't wait for an update!
