I'm Home and so happy :jump:

I am finally home after 2 days in ICU and longer than I expected in the hospital. The surgery was a success, I just had trouble breathing on my own. I actually feel pretty good, just tired, My only problem is that I just can't stand those shakes at room temperature or much else at room temperature so I am not getting in the fluids I should be taking. Any ideas from anyone? It would be just fine with me if I never had to eat or drink again--no interest whaterver. Is this normal? Anyway, I am so glad to be home, in my own bed and able to sleep the night through without people in and out of the room sticking me or waking me up for blood pressure etc.

Would you rather have things cold or warm? Don't know much about your shakes, but can you add ice to them or put them in the blender with some ice? Or can they be heated somewhat? If you don't want things cold, can you try warmer liquids?

Hi Mary,

I am new here, glad you are home and happy.  Why were you in ICU?
