Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm back at home.  I had to stay an extra day due to having some problems with my hands.  They were killing me!!  Don't know if it was from gas or not having some of my regular meds for a few days?  Anyway, they are feeling better today.  So glad to be home.  Now to just figure out how to get in all of this protein!!!  Thanks so much for your prayers and support.

Glad to hear that you are home and well.

When we had our surgeries at Duke and they have us use 2 ounce medicine cups. You use 4 cups an hour, 1 for protein and the other 3 for fluids. We would have the protein at the top of the hour and fluids at the quarter, half and three quarter hour. We would do this every hour we were awake. We would also make sure to get up and walk once an hour to keep the blood pumping and reduce the incidence of DVTs.

Wishing you all the best on your journey,
