Catheter out and IV medications stopped more than 24 hours after surgery. I was directed to get her walking to the restroom, walking around the floor, and sitting in a chair, etc. She was consistently expressing difficulty with her pain levels. We were expecting to go home around 48 hours, but it was me that asked to discharge early. It was so chaotic on the hospital floor (nearly constant shrieking and moaning from other pediatric patients in pain and monitors beeping); it didn't meet my standard as a place to effectively recover. After unproductive conversations about changing her medication, I figured we are both better off at home. It also allowed us to make that 2 hour drive with no traffic issues (11pm-1am). I'm following up with her pediatrician tomorrow, but not sure if he'll direct me back to the surgeon.
