hot tea and chicken broth both work for me. the steam rising to my my nose is helpful as well as relaxing. hope you can nap/sleep - what could it hurt? handing you some kleenex - now BLOW!!! sending good/healthful wishes your way. - kathy

@Marissa37 I think doc has a great suggestion/idea about style of reconstruction surgery to have. "about" 20 years ago, the tram flap was relatively new - few stats. (hmmm, similar to the sleeve) now they both show successful stats being hesitant, nervous about more/newer surgery is understandable, but, GET OVER IT good luck with your continued, successful trip with reconstruction. Good wishes that all will continue to go well. welcome to the cancer free bench, I am sitting next to you, squeezing your hand. proud breast cancer survivor 19+ years and counting

@Marissa37 i have the sleeve. i was never a big soda drinker. if i did have soda, never any bad side effects. More commonly than not, doc/NUT will tell you not to drink soda -anything that has carbonation. good luck speedy recovery kathy
