You don't get to be overnight in Hosp?

I don't know I had a two hour drive and it was next day. I was so nauseated that I couldn't have made it the same day. But, you may not be like me (I also had my gallbladder out). What kind of car do you have if it's low to the ground rent another one van or suv that sit's up hirer. My port area has hurt so bad that I couldn't twist or sit on low surfaces, let alone get up fom one. Good Luck.

Hey oreokitty we were banded the same day how are you feeling? I'm going to go back to work tomorrow and my port has finally settled down. Good Luck to you.

I did not have to stay in the hospital over night I was teher from 5.00am untill 5.30 pm It was a long day

I am doing OK

Today I actually did stuff around my house that has been long forgotten about I am score tonight but that is my own fault for over doing it.

Today I felt so much better and I could not sit down any longer

I am a stay at home mom so I will not be returning to work

My doctor said that he wante dme off work for 2 weeks and that he will write a letter saying that for my employer I looked at my husband and asked him if he thought it would help for me to get a 2 week break he just laughed.

Good luck at returning to work
