okay it ia 930pm central time and i am doing good. blod pressure issues back under control. given iv lopressor (bp) zantac,antibiotics,morphine pain pump & toradol..strong nsaid for pain...makes the drain site pain go away

scop patch on for nasuea...have walked & used gas x...eating ice chips & using swab. So far so good. Hubby doing great job taking care of me too How is everyone else doing?

doing good i guess. I came home last night. Quickly figured out sleeping in the bed was not happening - got on the sofa, much better. I have been able to sip little sips, take my pain meds, and one pill... that's it. I have not made the minimum fluid intake, but i think i am okay. i would like to get more down, but there is just no way yet to do that. Little sips and then a little burb - so pretty!

been eating lost of popsicles, some jello, had a greek yogart...very yummy and felt so much better after wards. Still having trouble with sipping...it hurts when you do not do it right. still have gas pain but it is manageable. cannot take liquid lortab...makes me want to puke.
