It's day two and I am doing very well walking and burping and some time at the same time.. Went to do the barium swallow. ooooh that tastes bad!!

The good thing is I have upgraded to ice chips and sips of water!!!!

Maybe by noon I get to have broth and jello! wooh

After I woke up yesterday i was told that Dr Patel found a hernia the size of a small grapefruit squishing my esophagus. Now that's scary!! t wass never found before. Not on any MRI, CT scan, or x-ray. I mean really!!!!!

Time to walk and do breathing thing. Til later keep on dancing!

Congratulations on you doing so well after surgery. I do hope that Dr. Patel repaired that hernia when he found it. As a person who just went through hernia repair the repair was a piece of cake but the intense pain that the hernia caused was no fun at all. Welcome to the losers bench !!!!
