Glad to hear that you are home and well.
When we had our surgeries at Duke and they have us use 2 ounce medicine cups. You use 4 cups an hour, 1 for protein and the other 3 for fluids. We would have the protein at the top of the hour and fluids at the quarter, half and three quarter hour. We would do this every hour we were awake. We would also make sure to get up and walk once an hour to keep the blood pumping and reduce the incidence of DVTs.
Wishing you all the best on your journey,

My husband and I both had our surgeries done at Duke in Durham at Durham Regional Hospital.

Both programs are robust, providing highly skilled surgeons, as well as Psych and Registered Dieticians to support the programs.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them.

I picked up the books and looked at them. Haha, that's it. Oh my...
What are you up to?
For more information do a web search on Hanes United Way sale Oct 1. It should pull up the information or look up the United Way of Forsyth County.
I go every year. But this year I really need to go. I drive almost 2 hours to get there. I must warn you.. if you go you want to go early as items get picked through. I am also taking a cart with wheels. I plan to do some Christmas shopping as well. They usually have nice clothing , jackets and polo shirts fo a couple of dollars.
Just wanted to let you know.
