It's really okay to call and check every so often. I worried all day until we picked Gizmo up, and then the nurse was like...why didn't you call?
Gizmo slept with us, but I'm a light sleeper and he always has to be touching me when he sleeps (or sitting on my head

) so I knew when he moved or was starting to feel uncomfortable.
If you worry too much about it, I know someone who put down an air mattress in the living room and slept there with her pup, so that might work.
Since it's Friday, make sure they give you a pain pill and a number to call over the weekend. They tried to tell me I wouldn't need the pain pill, but we did. My husband had to run back up there and try to make it before they closed at six. And, if there are any questions over the weekend, you need to have someone to call.
