It sounds like Dr. Duke did you a great favor by telling you what to expect and keeping you overnight. Hope all is going well with your therapy.
Thanks for your reply. I think I was lucky being one of the first surgery patients in the morning. I pretty much went right in when I arrived. Staying overnight ended up being really good for me because of the whole pee thing which needed to be sorted out before I left as well as the assurance that no complications were developing from the surgery.
