Thanks for this evaryone, my experience so far has been just the same as yours MsL, I ended up having the infusion for around 6hrs and my BP went up and then dipped - I felt dizzy and sleepy for the middle part and then rallied and was pain free at the end yipee!!!!
I too had to go to a post op ward but the whole experience was brilliant, i have decided to take it easy for the next few days - I havent been sleeping because of the pain so am exhausted and just need a rest from work(although I will probably spend most of the day doing emails tomorrow)

Thanks for everything
Arlene
