well Its done! I feel really great today. yesterday I slept most of the day and walked last night. The GI test came back good this morning so on liquids. Only the nurse said to drink 1 ounce every half hour. I am now trying my chicken broth. It seems to hurt a little going down but overall I feel great. There was a bit of gas that I burping up once I started walking and drinking. My drain they said is filling too fast so the Dr stopped the blood thinners for now to see if it slows down.. but I have walked the hallway 3 times today so far and will try and walk each our especially since they stopped the blood thinners.. getting a little tired though.. sleepy rather.. man they wake you every hour during the night LOL.. Hopefully go home tomorrow.. heres to better days

Congrats! Is the drain filling up quickly still? If so and you're exceedingly drowsy, you might mention that to the nurse and just ask if she'd take your blood pressure. ((hugs)) and Take care of yourself!!

my blood pressure was super high yesterday and they didn't know why but it has come down. they are taking it every few hours.. I am more sleepy because I haven't slept all night with them constantly waking me up for something. walking down the hall makes me beat too but hopefully that gets easier.

So exciting! Hope all continues to go well! Keep us posted!!!

Congrats on getting to the loser's bench! Hope your recovery is quick and uneventful!

thank you. I walked at least 5 times today up and down the hall. Still have the burbs everytime I try to drink something LOL. I am almost done with a 16 ounce bottle and I did have a bowl and half of clear broth today. I tried the protein pack and that was gross lol. I am tired of laying in bed so I have been moving from the bed to the chair... the drain seems to have slowed as soon as he stopped the blood thinner. Looks like he is going to leave it stopped till Tuesday. I don't think I need it at all I will be walking daily as I plan on going to work on Monday.. I feel fine. So will see after I am off the iv I guess to make sure I am getting enough liquids..
