4 Days out from Operation
Hey Shirley. Is this the same friend you were planning to visit in a few weeks? I'm so sorry for your loss, It sounds like you two were really close. I'm glad you are doing well. I had a hard time getting my fluids in on Thursday & Friday but have done much better today. I just need to walk more. Don't push yourself to much remember you have to take care of yourself even though you want to care for others. ~~Amy

Hey Amy
Yes it was and he was my best friend. Very painful loss. I have not been cleared to fly so will be unable to go and say goodbye. Have just finished a tribute to be read out at his service
So glad you have come through surgery well. How are you going now? I am a week today and feeling pretty good
Shirley :)
My drain site is leaking quite a bit. other than that I seem to be healing well. I am getting my 60-80 grams of protein and 40-60 ozs of water each day. Just sore in my sides. How about you.

My surgeon doesnt use drains - I was taped up with steri strips and a waterproof dressing over each of the 5 wounds.
You are doing great with the fluids. Im sitting about 43 ounces (have to keep converting from litres etc :)
Protein I would be around 50 gms a day but trying to pu**** up each day
The biggest thing I have struggled with is consitpation. Been shocking but I need to get my fluids up more. I have been using gycerine suppositories and also taking benefibre and prune juice
Sounds like you are you are going really well. Im a week post surgery today
