Finally I am posting

Jun 22, 2011

It is eight days after surgery and it has taken me all this time to post. I have been so caught up in what to do when that I run out of hours in a day.

Surgery went very well and I did great in the hospital. I was home in two days and had the hardest time with gas. Gas X helped a little and thank god for the pain killers. The isopure tasted like fermented fruit and I gagged. Everything I tried that was fruity was turning my stomach. I blew up from the salt of the low sodium broth and probably after surgery stuff. Meanwhile I walked and walked and walked. I think I might have made it to Florida and back; very far considering I live in CT. [A Huge exageration, but that's how it felt.] When I walked, I felt better. Standing up worked.

So on the third day home, I realized I needed my water pill back  that I had taken for 30 years. I called my doctor and he gave me back half. the dosage and that helped with the bloat. The gas got better and by the fifth day home, I was done with the pain killers. I also discovered I had developed a yeast infection. Probably from the antibiotics in the hospital. No wonder I had trouble with taste. Thrush makes it hard to swallow. It was me that was fermented not the drinks. lol. However if
I never have isopure clear again, it's okay with me.

This week is great. Carnation Instant Breakfast, Greek yogurt and Cream of Chicken soup. Who would have thought these simple foods would taste so good. Still walking many times every day. I see my doctor in two days. Looking foward to many more weeks like this one.
