Hi Shannon,  I feel like a wet noodle!  I just got home from church ~ My opening that has the infection is getting better.  It seems to be closing up more every day.  I will just be glad when it is closed totally.  A few days ago the infection just poured out of the hole!  That was really gross!  But, today almost all of the infection is gone, and the hole itself  is red like it is suppose to be...with the outer area clear and not red! I have felt so rotten that I haven't done a lot of walking.  This morning I got a good amt of walking in, just going in and out of church.  It felt good to do normal stuff again!   I am feeling stronger that I have.  My plan is to start walking on my treadmill everyday, then I will go back to the wellness center and ease my way back into that!  What kind of an eating schedule do you have?  I have just been winging it...eating protein first and then some soup, yogurt, or whipped potatoes.  Trying to get in more water, but that is an issue I suppose will be ongoing.   I finally switched my loratab pain meds to liquid extra strength tylenol.  It works just as well, and doesn't leave me spacey!!!   I bought a magic bullet on Ebay.  Do you have one?  It blends stuff in less than 10 sec.  Alot of OH people talk about it. The thing I hate the most is crushing the pills......Especially the antibiotic!!!!  It is two BIG capsules full three times a day!  It is just nasty any way you look at it!!!!!  I only have about two days left to take!  I am glad you are doing so well!  I am 52 yrs old and have realized that other people who are older have a rougher time bouncing back.
