Well I survived!!! It definitely has not been easy, as matter of fact it has been a hard, painful, nerve racking experience. I know that I only had surgery on the 14th but when am I going to feel better??? Everyday brings a little more energy, a little less pain, but it is sure slow. I am only on full clear liquid diet so I am worried about getting adequate nutritional needs met. Thanks for all the support any further support or advice on diet, building energy, etc would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Mary
