Leaving ICU.....
Heather, I am so glad things were quickly resolved and you are moving forward now. Enjoy fluids, very important to keep them up, as you know.
Wishing you all the best!

P.S. Angie - about you comment on measuring fluids - When I was early out, I was instructed to try to consumed at least 3 ounces per half hour. I religiously used a one ounce medicine measure to keep track of this in the beginning. Then I learned later that I could take in as much as I could possibly handle every half hour. I think it helps you focus on getting fluids in regularly. I would not worry about the fact that you did not have this detailed instruction. From what I remember, you were told to make sure you get your fluids in. And as I recall, you have been doing this. As we know, each MDs program is a little different.
