He's home

Well our baby is home.. We have been warned that the next 24-48 hours are going to really suck. So far they are right.
He is whining a lot which is something he never does. He is just laying there crying. Is he in pain? Does he feel funny from the meds? Does he need to go potty? It is going to be a long day.
His incision looks great a long line of 20ish staples on the inside of his knee. He is shaved from hip to toes on the surgery leg and there are various patches of shaved skin elsewhere. One front leg where the IV was, the top of his butt where the spinal medication was, and the non surgical back leg where he has a pain patch that he will keep on for a few days.
He is having some urinary incontinace -dripping- that I am sure is from being so drugged up but another lovely side effect.
He is on antibiotics, pain pills and of course sedatives. It's quite a handfull of pills but a little peanut butter makes everything go down easier.
