Clear liquids suck. Brother died last night' date=' thinking of canceling surgery. Thoughts?[/quote'] wow so sorry to hear that :-( It depends on how your feeling about it and are you gonna be the person the has to do the arrangements if so maybe it's best to reschedule i

Thank u Symone, my "battle" buddy. I have termed u this term of endearment for the following reasons I hope it doesn't offend:

I come from a long line of military and the term battle buddy is given to your partners bro/sis who endure battles & missions with u. Leave no man behind & only someone experiencing the very same mission and struggle can ever truly understand the emotional, spiritual and physical toll a battle takes on someone. My immediate fam has requested I continue on my mission....our mission. I am first case tomorrow, did u say u r too?

Congrats to you all and God bless. .. once well enough please. . please. .please come back and give us an update. .. you will do great. . claim it! Can't wait to hear your story

patiently waiting

You are not the only one who feels horrible. All the liquids we need... It's not happening for me. I'm lucky if I can get 16 oz down so far. I'm in a lot of pain. I didn't realize how much this would hurt. I hope it gets better for both of us!!!
