Thanks again

Out patient? Wow, I'm surprised. I was in the hospital 3 nights. I could have gone home after 2 but DH had the gastric flu and the docs said there was no way they wanted me home with him being sick.
For myself I couldn't have handled it outpatient. I lost LOADS of blood, was having dry heaves all evening and into the night, even with meds for it and I really needed my Dilaudid that first night. I could handle the pain with pain pills after the first 24 hours but before that? I needed them.
Well let us know how all of it goes. Hope you have some help at home because you probably will need it for a day or so.
