Now Im in Northport

I relocated this morning to the beautiful seaside village of Northport for recovery at my parents house.  I have to say I didn't think it would hurt this much to move around.  I always thought I was really tough when it came to pain.  I guess its all part of the restart!  The oxys are making me a little groggy so forgive me if I am in coherent.

I made my first food item with protien powder today.  I used light lemon yogurt and mixed in some unflavored that I had mixed with a little milk.  Not so great.  But I squeezed some lemon juice in there and not so bad! 

B: Sugar free popsicle and an Atkins shake
L: A half cup of tomato soup
S: Lemon protien yogurt
D: Probably more yogurt

2 Glasses of water and counting.
Woot.

Enjoy the ebb and flow of the ocean and remember that your healing will be like that - some days good, other days not so good, some mels good, other meals lousy,

Be good to yourself!

My experience was that a few days out things got dramatically better. The worst was the ride home from the hospital! But after a month the pain was gone, and it is all worth it when you get to the other side of it. Good luck!

And enjoy Northport -- nice area to relax for a bit.
