I'm feeling better today, I took a shower!!! I had to just rush and wash all the important parts fast and then had to get out and sit down and breathe before I could dry off but I did it! It sucks being so weak but I already feel stronger everyday.
I was having trouble getting my fluids in but now I'm OK. I always drank soda before and I'm trying not to so I didn't really want anything. I've found that I like Crystal Light Ice Tea and have already been through a bunch of big glasses of that today..plus the protein shakes and I'm eating a little soup here and there. No nausea with anything...so far so good! The big test will be when my full-liquid diet is up, but for now all is well. :-)
Thanks again everyone..I hope you're all doing well!!
