How are you feeling, it has been a long road for me. I was thinking Saturday night, "What the Hell have I done". It is getting a little better. Saturday night I dry heived for 4 hrs. straight. Don't really know why, other than the fact I didn't drink much and was still taking pain meds. I havent' trown up anymore thank goodness. I am supposed to go back to work on Wednesday, don't know for sure if I will be able to.
