      Have them give you something for nausea.....  keep up with the meds or they will not work properly!!!  Don't forget, the first few steps you will have pain, but it gets better and don't forget, it's an emotional time and it's ok to cry, but it's also ok to laugh!!!!  please keep in touch either here or there......
