When I woke up tummy was sore but I just wanted to sleep. We slept first night at hospital. It was not like being in a hospital where someone wakes you every thirty minutes for vitals and temp. You called and they came, if you needed something you could get it. The next morning we were up and getting ready to go to our hotel. After getting back to hotel we went to restaurant for lunch. I had ice chips and two pink popsicles. Then upstairs for showers, the nurses came to change bandages and we met hotel Dr, he checked us out and we rested, then tried to walk around some. The key is walking and ice chips, we were told both of those were important. My friend spent more time walking around and I spent most of my time sleeping.
The trip home was the longest ever. We were tired sore and ready to rest.
Ask if I would do this again and the answer would be Definitely. The whole experience was pretty cool!
