Last night was a little rough..but I am going home tomorrow

Yesterday afternoon I was disconnected from the IV medications and started on pain medications by mouth. All was well until late last night when the pain got unbearable. The pain medication wasn't enough even when a small amount of liquid medication to IV was added, so I had to be completely put back on full IV pain medication until about 9am today. I was originally scheduled to go home today but after last night I was not ready at all. Right now I am disconnected again from the IV, I don't even have a needle in my arm any more, nothing at all. I started taking another type of pain medication this morning but it didn't seem to make much of a difference to my pain, a secound pill has been added since and now the pain is more manageable. Hopefully tonight will be a better night. I am now scheduled to go home tomorrow although I'm sure what time yet. When I go home (I'll be staying at my mom's) I will be having a nurse come to check on me everyday for a week or so.
