Got the okay for puree/soft foods and to DRIVE!!!! ::hugs:: Cyndi

Hey Cyndi Yea! Know that's gonna make you feel so much better! Take care Lisa

Isn't that like getting the liscense to have your life back? WOOHOO for you! My Dr. gave me the okay to drive 1 week post-op, so long as I was off the pain meds. I feel more run-down and like a shut-in when I can't drive... that is my independence! Have Fun Cyndi! ______________ Angela

I wasn't prohibited from driving, but got into my car for the first time last night! It was only to go a couple of blocks to the grocery store, but it was awesome!!

I got to drive after 8 days and I never felt so free....I just drove the neighborhood aimlessly. And then I realized how many ab muscles are involved in driving - the second time out, I came home sore! Sore but delighted!! its the little things we appreciate when they are gone... Glad to hear you're on puree foods, Cindy!

Congrats Cyndi!! that is so aweome! I am jealous since I still cant drive yet due to I am on the narcotics still. But I am down to only taking it 2-3 times a day, not every 4 hours. May I make a suggestion? Instant mashed potatoes are the best! I was afraid the butter was not going to agree with me but it did and it felt like I was eating real food!! -Sue 242/???/130

Just be careful to not overdo it like I have apprently done the last few days... it felt good to feel as if I was moving on, though! Sandy L
