congrtats Jimmy!!

I'm on the other side! It may be the Morphine PCA (Im not using it much), but I feel much better than I figured I would. Good luck to all of tomorrow's sleevers!

I am on the other side and back home. I'm tired. They wake you up way too much in a hospital. :) I am feeling good, and I am trying to figure out how to get all my fluids in. At this point, it seems impossible. I'm hoping it is one of those things where they tell you to drink X but they are happy if you drink Y. My doc recommends 64 ounces a day, and I should drink them one ounce at a time and take 15 minutes to drink it. That would take 16 hours. I get tired of drinking after an hour or two. I'm around 30 ounces right now. But I was hooked up to an IV this morning, so I don't know if that impacts what I can take in as well.

Let's keep this rally going!

My Dr told me 64 oz a day and if I don't get it in I have to add it to the next day. It is hard.

I'm home from my surgery Weds! As far as the water, my doc wants at least 64 oz - they gave me a baby sippy cup that I think holds 8 oz and they want me to drink one every hour or so. I've had 40 oz so far since I was home and also had fluids in the hospital so I think I'm doing OK. I bought a large water bottle that doesn't have a straw (it has a sipping hole) so I think I'll start using that tomorrow so I can keep better track.
