    12/19 here! See if the hospital will give you nausea and pain meds for the ride home instead of waiting for the pharmacy in your neighborhood. Riding in the car home was rough for me. All the bouncing. I didn't have one, but a support belt may be very helpful for the ride as well. Good luck!

    The bumps in the road are horrible so take a pillow that you can have pressed against your belly it will help some. Please make frequent stops to walk so no clots form.

    Mine was 12/21, my doctor gave me a nerve block that lasted 72 hours and that was wonderful. It made the 1 hour ride home ok and it allowed me to do a lot of walking. I can tell you that when it wears off it is like night and day now I move like a sloth ????. My doctor also had me bring all my meds with me so that he knew I had everything I needed for the next few weeks!
