Congrats on being on the other side of surgery.  Recovery is defn more like a marathon than a sprint...hang in there!  Glad you were able to sleep with the steroids, they kept me up with crazy dreams and sweating...ugh! 

Rest up, keep pushing forward and know that it will continue to improve as the weeks pass on!

My surgery was 9.5 hours. I had problems with vertigo for about the first 24 hours. I was on morphine for pain and Valium for the vertigo. I was also given something for nausea. I hated the leg massages also. It was in the 90s when I was in and couldn't get the room cold enough. I was just glad to get home after 4 days even though I still felt like crap I was home.
