Today is day 10 post op and I'm feeling well, davidncara@sbcglobal.net How are you feeling? I drove yesterday for the first time and yes, walking has helped tremendously. I am really struggling to get in all the water and protein. Up to 40 oz water and 30g protein.

I am struggling to get any protein at this point. I'm sick of all of the current choices of protein. I tried to eat blended soup last night and I came to the conclusion that I must be still swollen inside. This is day 7 post op. I feel lots better today. I'm still not sleeping through the night. Up every 2-3 hrs. Wish I could sleep on my side! I can't wait for that one sore side to go away! I go back to work tomorrow. EEK!

I'm a stay at home mom but substitute at our high school where our son goes. I work all this week in the attendance office. Did pretty good today, kept sipping so kept up on fluid intake okay. Ready to rest for the evening now.

It was tough at first. I had to review all day and could NOT sit comfortably without a lean that looks TOTALLY unprofessional! Lol. I sipped all day. I can't stomach anymore Protein shakes! Yuck! I came home and had some soup. I feel great now, all stretched out in bed! Lol. I had a hard time reaching for things on my table too. But I know the walking up and down the halls was beneficial. I CANT wait for this large incision to heal! 8 more days until summer!

I am in arlington.. Where are you?

Did I mention that I was a teacher?

Oh my gosh! I'm in Arlington too! We live near Ditto Elem (our kids went there). Our daughter goes to Young Jr High and our son is a freshman at Martin where I'm subbing all this week. Such a small world! I was at USMD with Dr Lyons.

My daughter goes to Little. :) we live not too far from martin off of Park Springs and pleasant Ridge. Definitely a small world! I teach at Bebensee, most people have never heard of it, lol. It is AISD, and it is over by cravens park, by ferguson jh. I FINALLY slept through the night! First time in 8 days! Now, if only the next 3 days would fly by!
