You and I share the same middle name, even same spelling. Hiya name twin! Hope your healing goes smoothly and you make it home safely. Congratulations on making it so far and so well,

Yes. After surgery, the water in the hospital tasted excessively chlorinated - like swimming pool water. I could drink it. I liked the crushed ice but I like the sugar free popsicles even better.

I was surprised that I basically did not have any trouble drinking after surgery. Each person is going to be a little different and have a problem area specific to them. I know I should be up and walking but the incision pain is too great right now. At least I don't have gas pain. Good lord, I had to sneeze and nearly screamed. However, I'll take pain over nausea and vomiting. I don't feel like walking right now. I tried but couldn't get my shoes on. I'll try again later today.

James and Matt, Columbus Ohio gets their Water from surface water, rivers and dams, it is both chlorinated and artifically fluorinated, has been known to leave bleached out spots on laundry. Maybe I'll take bottled water with me, I'm spoiled, my small city draws from an artesian aquifer underground, it tastes very nice in comparison.

VanessaKaye if you have to sneeze or cough hold your pillow against your tummy, that's called splinting and it is an unbelievable help!

That's a brilliant idea! I'll keep a pillow handy in case this happens again.

I am already a veteran of. 1 open abdominal incision, I have my Bari Bear just waiting, I bought him off Valentine Clearance at Wally World for $1.25 because I knew he had the right dimensions. No I didn't try him out in public on my belly, I just eye-balled him. Now to get my surgery, no further developements as yet. I arise every morning and then get more and more disappointed as the day goes on. I am impatient, it hasn't even been a full week yet. Yeah Rome wasn't built in a day but it would have been had I been in charge of the project!
I go around singing " do they love me? I've got to know, if they don't please tell me so!" Yes I'm a tired old 60s song! I hope-a , I wanna I need it so! Yep there I go again, hope I don't go into my second childhood before I get to finish my current adulthood.
