Welcome to the Loser's Bench.  Take care of yourself.

 thanks, linda!  today i had my mother around, but she just read her book and i was able to do most everything i needed myself.  i'm glad i had her come, just as a back-up if i needed someone to help with 'the bucket' or helping me get up if i was having problems.

this surgery was amazing for me!  the anethesialogist was amazing, i wasnt sick at all, barely had nausea, and i am one who get sick with it.  they deserve a medal for that one! 

That's great Jenny.  They gave me shots for nausea because I had problems with a prior surgery - they really helped and i was not sick at all.

 feeling sick to the stomach is NOT fun!  i am sure its worse after tummy surgery!  glad the meds helped!

glad to hear your home and doing well... i wish all the success in the world

 thanks, tanya!  it's a whole new world out there for me, and i'm gonna live it up!  (after recovery)

Yeah! Your home and doing well. Take good care of yourself!

 thanks, laurie.  i have lots of help around me, lots of support, so i know i'm gonna be ok.  it's a great feeling!

Welcome home, Jenny.  That tomato juice sounds like an wonderful idea. Number one priority is fluids the next few weeks. You can catch up on the protein later. Keep doing little tests with the flavors but don't worry. Don't be afraid to dilute juices and shakes and see if you can tolerate them better watered down.
