  1. Got home today from having surgery on the 15th. My mind is blown.

      Today is my first full day at home. I'm adjusting. I'm doing OK with the protein drinks and liquids. Still adjusting to vitamins/meds. I hate the pain med. It makes me gag. But I see it as incentive to get off of it quickly. This afternoon I finally feel I can take a deep breath with out much pain. I'm also finding that each time I swallow something there is a pain. So, now I"m adjusting to feeling for that. I'm using a 4 oz glass as my choice to drink from. Small enough to be able to fill it up and keep track of oz. I'm using Premier Protein drink in chocolate. Ice cold. I made one by adding a sleeve of instant coffee this afternoon and about a table spoon of sugar free instant pudding. Not bad at all. I do remarkably feel better. Its true. so far its gotten better each day.

  2. Little things can make a huge difference! Protein shakes are much more drinkable over ice.

      I added instant coffee to a chocolate protein drink and found it delicious. I also got some unflavored Unjury and added it to chicken broth and it was pretty good. There is hope for variety.

      I'm just bummed at the thought of having to wear a mask. But I'm trying to look at the positive side that even if I do wear the mask for a while, that I should feel better. So onward.

      That's what I hear might happen. So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I have one more test next week. Hope that one is Good News. Thanks for the positive news.
