    I am very surprised you are in one day! Here we are kept in longer , and if its a private hospital even longer for rehab . I would query this as I had a drip in for over 12 hours with intravenous antibiotics , also they like to get you up and moving and doing some physio before they send you home. I hope it all goes okay for you , I am sure if you are not up to it they will keep you in longer .
