First follow-up visit with Dr.
Apr 22, 2009
Saw my surgeon today, things went well. He removed the drainage tube.. O U C H ! He warned me, said it was gonna hurt but would be over in a few seconds. The pain shot to my left shoulder, similar to pain I had in the hospital. Doc explained it again while I lay there trying to compose myself. I am allowed to go to Step 2 of the diet which is full liquids and includes things like yogurt, applesauce, light creamed soups and pureed chicken & turkey. The pureed meat doesn't appeal to me at this point but I did have some cream-o-wheat at breakfast today and some peach yogurt late afternoon. I tolerated these both with no problems. I am going to have some cream of mushroom soup for dinner tonight. Sounds good to me. I have been getting my protein in and drinking lots of water. I have found I am able to take bigger sips than I was before. I think I was just nervous though. I am feeling great right now without the drainage tube. It was a nuisance, especially in the shower! Good riddance tube!!
