Its. Over!!

well i had my surgery teusday the 8th. i got home from the hospital friday night the 11th. its monday night and i'm not doing to bad. i've had some cream of chichen soup and some protien drink this morning. waiting for the clini to call me back so i can get my JP drain taken out. i think when that gets done i will feel a lot better. the surgery went ok. i had a lot of trouble with the cathiter at first . then when i got back to my room i was feeling GREAT. i thought this wasn't bad at all, then the pain medicene wore off and the pain can in. OMG!!!. i never hurt so bad in my life. then on wed. i had to go for that swollow test. the stuff wasn't that bad, but the time i got back to my room from drinken so much of it, i thought i was going to die. then latter that afternoon, i was starting to drink some water, and it wasn't going to bad either so i over drank. didn't hit me till a little later at the same time they took away my pain pump. OMG!!! another death!!!but everday gets a little better. i took most of my pills with water this morning, had some protien drinks, some soup, and even started walking some. can twait ti get into some more food. maybe in a few days i might try soem purrea food. thanks for all your encouragment from everyone. i know friday at the hospital i help one guy out some. he say me up and walking only 4 days after surgery and said it may him fell better that he can do it too. i wished him luck. odaat!!

Congrats on getting your surgery done, and in flying colors...Guess we all have our little ups and downs at first...Try adding some Sugar free drink mixes with your water...I really like Walmarts brand Cherry...

My doctor never had me on puree foods, he just told me to chew chew chew real good...Some foods still got stuck even though I thought I had chewed it up real good...

Thats great that you are up and walking some...Keep up the good work...
