I came home from the hospital yesterday.  I am pretty upbeat with just minor discomfort from my incisions.  I have been sipping chicken broth and water all day.  Any tips or things I should expect for this first week?

You'll be tired, though you may not recognize it until you overdo.  Take it easy for the next three or four days.

I am in St Louis so not too terribley far from you.  I am scheduled to go back to work tomorrow which I am extremely nervous about.  It was just not an option to stay home longer.

Sip, rest, repeat. Also exercise as much as your body can tolerate. It helped me during my recovery.
