Four Days Post Op and Soooo Thirsty

Jan 10, 2011

In life there are lots of things that you tend to take for granted. For me, the biggest one right now is being able to drink a big glass of water. Yup, H20, old agua, it never really cried out to me before, but now it would be great to be able to quench this thirst. Per the nurses order, I'm supposed to drink 1 ounce every 15 minutes. By the time I drink one serving it's time to start on the next one, but wow it seems like I'm staying perpetually thirsty. I did drink almost 2 ounces at once last night and then freaked out because I remembered that I now have a one ounce pouch. I don't want to push things too soon.  I did try adding sugar free popsicles and that helped some, but I'm still thirsty. Hope it won't be long before I can drink more.  I guess all things considered it could be a lot worse.

Oh well, have a sip or two for me.

Cheers,
Alnita
