I picked up my girl yesterday afternoon-just been busy watching her carefully.  She is doing very well.   When I took her in, as promised they let me in the exam room with her, a few mins later the Dr came in and administered the sedative.  She staggered around like a drunk and I helped her not fall hard on the ground by just holding her and she put her head in my lap and we let it kick in as I talked to her and petted her.   A few more mins and they took her back (this was around 945-10)- they called me at 11:30 saying she did very well and I could pick her up that afternoon.

She was happy to see me but walking very groggy- they went over all her meds/discharge info.  The vet didn't even charge me extra for the hernia repair (which I was told by him and front office was additional).  So $300 for spay/hernia repair, her 5 days of meds (antibiotics, pain meds and probiotics) and of course includes the stitches removal in 2 weeks.  He didn't charge me for the hernia.

I felt really good leaving her with them-I might have found a new vet guys.  I mean I really like my guy and we've seen him for years and he is SUPER close (this one is only 20 mins)- but his prices are getting insane.  

She was very sleepy when she got home-but no whining/crying.  Took her out potty and she did pee a few times.  She did eat a little bit of just canned food (has refused water still).  She's safe in her crate and I have it covered up so our male can't see her.  The odd thing is for some reason he is acting like he does during her heats.....panting/pacing, whining, barking.  Don't know why...so it's crate/rotate when I take her out.  This morning she seemed much perkier and less wobbly.  She takes her meds no problem mixed w/her food.  

She was cranky at him bothering her and would show teeth and growl when I peeked in while he whined by her crate.   Going to be a long week or so keeping her from jumping and the crate/rotate with the male acting a fool.   I'm wondering if their urine smells strong after surgery mimicking a heat.   Her incision looks good.  I'm so happy she is home safe and sound.
