Feeling down :(
I was on ambien also taking up to double my dose and it still was not working. If you truly have insomnia issues talk to your doctor about switching to Restoril. I fall asleep within 10 minutes of taking. It has made a huge difference for me. The lack of sleep can have a big impact on your emotional and physical health.

Post-Op Shopping List
As long as your on narcotics you shouldn't drive. I would plan on at least a week. Stock up on broths, yogurt, sugar free Popsicles, sugar free jello and puddings and eggs. Make sure you have your protein drinks to start on. Your nut should give you a list for your first weeks at home. Good luck to you.
