Glad your baby is all better today.

My vet "offered" overnight care. When I said I'd like to take her home today, they told me exactly what to expect. And yea, she was quite out of it, just like they said she'd be, but was fine the next morning!

The fact is, I wouldn't have wanted her to stay overnight. I don't know if they even have someone overnight there If they do, I think they maybe have one person there and you know he/she sleeps all night. Anyway, I was glad to have her home. I gave her a dose of pain meds this morning according to their direction but wasn't supposed to give her anymore until tomorrow morning however, I gave her another 1/2 dose a little bit ago. She would be sleeping and all of a sudden jump and sort of spin toward her belly like it hurt her for a second or two. then a couple of minutes later she would do it again. She hasn't done it since I gave her the additional pain meds. Hope I did the right thing. I really think it was okay. I just gave her 1/2 ml.

I think you did the right thing giving her pain med. From your description, it sounds like she needed it.
My Jazz has had 3 surgeries, and after his last one (for a congenital hip problem), when I brought him home, I ended up holding him all night. He was so knocked out, he was drooling, and completely limp. I kept my hand on him to make sure he was breathing. I did call the vet's office, and they said he'd be fine. I was terrified he would stop breathing. He did come out of it finally, and then his rapid recovery was amazing.
