A couple of things I learned - being in the new wing of the hospital (it opened on Monday, I had surgery on Tuesday), thing don't always run smooth. Take you own pillow and don't wait for them to find you one.
The pain pump - this will become your friend. I used it Tuesday night and Wednesday morning religiously. Even if I wasn't in that much discomfort, I tried to stay one step ahead of the pain. Since then, only one oral dose Wednesday (I tried to walk the entire floor 3 times and wore myself out).
Take chap stick or something like it. It's amazing how dry your lips become.
Don't worry about taking your own clothes to wear. Ruin the hospitals.

But, I am a happy camper (as happy as one can be 3 days post op).

Protein first, hydrate well and choose healthy snacks!
Remember to exercise and if you can not exercise take a walk. If you can't walk for long, make sure to walk small intervals and slowly add a couple more minutes to your walk when you do. Eventually you will get there.
Have a great day on purpose everyone!
My affirmation for today:
The sun rises in the sky, a brilliant vision. I breathe deeply, relax, and know I can face the day. The sun sets in the sky, a glorious image. I close my eyes, know I did my best today, and prepare for the day to come.
I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.

You can get all the protein you need by eating the aamount of grams you need on a daily basis. For example the amount you need you will calculate by deviding the amount of your weight by 2 and then adding 10 more grams. You can go on fitday.com or dailyplate or even sparkpeople.com and record everything that you eat and you will know if you are meeting your daily protein goal.
Take care and good luck!

What do you do for a living that you travel so much? One of my dreams is to travel to Paris and Spain.
That concert must have been awesome. Any pics to share of those beautiful places you visit?
So when you say you will be home for a while how long will that be?
Keep me posted on your progress.
Take care,
