Good luck and my biggest recommendation is to be very friendly with the nurses and doctors. If they like you, it will go better.
Also, getting up and walking as soon as you are able.
I was careful how much pain mess they administered as I started to get hallucinations, so I only requested when necessary.

Thank you! I will be friendly with the staff as my Father and Mother were doctors and I would hear their comments at mealtime about problem patients! I usually don’t require a lot of pain medicine.
