Left overs = happy dogs
3 weeks out and doc gave me the green light on mushy to normal food... Not to overdo anything. Obviously lol I have been doing small meals through the day.... 2 bites and in the fridge it goes. Soup, mashed potatoes, chicken salad, chips and salsa (3 chips) I have not got myself to do fruit yet because I can't do the banana or apple that cost 89 cents a lb and take one bite and have to toss it. Dogs are loving this tho. All the extra gets to them because I have so much left over

3 days post surgery update
Hey there everyone! I'm home, well at my moms home. I left the hospital yesterday (Sunday). I'm a little sore just sore like I did a crap load of sit ups. I do have some brusing but not too bad. Photos attached. I got lots of support and visitors while I was in the hospital too. Lost of great family and friends. Beautiful flowers too! I was the only one on our floor walking, and I actually was the one who asked the nurse can I get up I'm sick of laying here.... They were all impressed! I had a huge gas bubble that was painful for the first 23 hours until I got something for it to help pass. When I finally got to "fart" I blew thru my pj pants and bed... So embarrassed! Took a hot shower there too felt like heaven! I was up and down heat wise... I just wasn't 100% good there. But I made the very best of it. On the way out I had 5 vases of flowers and mom ran to get the car... Some orderly of e hospital was by the door and was like ahhh you finally get to go home.... Where is the baby? I was like well I didn't have a baby but I hope that is the last time I get that sad misunderstanding again. Thanks! Butt face! I wore cute pjs and gave my nurse goodies and they all loved it... Was sad to leave I made a few friends but hate to say its been fun but peace out lol. I'm home now, eating broth and shakes... I have a Popsicle here and there and water or tea... Went for a walk and cleaned my moms kitchen floor... I'm pooped now and will be laying down for a cat nap. Love ellie
