Hello everyone,

I'm doing good. Walk, walk, sip, sip, rest,rest, that's what I"m doing. Went to the doctors today had my staples removed. I start on puree protein tomorrow. I'm staying at my sister house right now. Which I'm very thankful for. She is making sure I drink 64oz no matter what. My family has been so supportive, they all want to see me healthier. I'm truly blessed.

Tonight has been a little difficult, I don't want any more chicken soup, food is

nauseating me, I can't stand the smell of anything.

On a funny note, my nephew who is 8 years old is enjoying the gas tunes.

My prayers are with everyone.

Love and happiness

I am glad you are doing so great! It is nice that you are at your sister's. I went to my sister's after my surgery and it sure was nice to be there. My 4 year old niece loved my 1 ounce jello "shots" that my sister had made for me. They were a serving for me. My great niece ate about 5 for every one I ate. She also brought me her blankie when I first walked into the house because she thought I might need it. Kids are so priceless.

Enjoy being with your family! I wish you continued speedy recovery.
