How is it going Enuff and lovietobeme?

I am doing really good I just got out the hospital yesterday. "Yay" I am still having a hard time breathing and I have to take blood thinners and go to my PCP every week for the next 6 months. I am just really starting to have to drink on my own and it's really hard but I know I don't want to go back for dehydration!

Ok surgery last evening 8-9. Went well I've been up walking 4 times now and am just going for my shower then another walk. Gas pain is real, so walk. But all in nothing you can't handle.

What Protein powder are you using?

Atkins advantage shakes. They are the only ones that taste the same!

Day 3 when they say walk they mean it. I've kept my pain in check by walking. But it's still hurts some. Leak test today and if its all good hotel for one night then home. I keep knocking my IV out they are really good at putting them in but they don't tape them enough. Not hungry that's a plus. Had ice chips yesterday.
