Another October 1st sleeved checking in... Surgery was at about 1:30pm yesterday and surgery itself went well.howver' date=' ihav had the absolutely worst nausea since I woke up. And this morning I got a terrible headache. I haven't been able to sip my little cups of water or tea because of the nausea. It seems to have subsided some now and I am working on second little cup of water. Headache is still here though. Hoping to go home tomorrow but that will all depends on whether or of I can get my water in or not.[/quote']
