I just had surgery on Tuesday afternoon. Got to my room at 6pm, up to the bathroom at 8pm, walked the hall with a tech at 5am, given the ok to walk by myself after that, made many laps around the hospital floor. Doc came it at 2pm and asked if I felt ready to go home, I said yes. I was discharged about 5pm, got home 5:30. I live alone and have done well. So far, I have had no pain.
