GOING HOME! :)

I had surgery Monday 17th. Tuesday I slept and had a swallow study. Wed. I did clear liquids. Today I added thicker liquids, had my drain removed, and am on my way home. :) I can hold down 3 oz an hour every hour. If I do 4 oz's then I have a hard time doing it again the next hour. :) I'm so excited to go home!!

Yey! 13 more days till my surgery and I'm so nervous! How was the swallow test?

Congrats! Cant wait to hear how you progress. Take it easy, walk as much as you can and focus on getting in your liquids. Don't get frustrated, just take things day by day and before you know it you will be approaching your goal! Hope your healing goes well!
