Hey everybody! I got home yesterday, and I am doing great. My surgery was Monday. Other than some soreness in my left side and in my back, I feel fine. I am tolerating the Carnation Instant Breakfast...I just have to sip ever so slowly. I had my first cup of chicken broth today, and ummm it tasted so good. Ice chips and water have been my friends. I am so very thankful that I had no complications. I am also so grateful to my angel, Jillian Cassanova, who came to see me in the hospital. She printed out the messages that you wrote on my page, and it really helped to read those messages the last couple of days in the hospital. I am getting better every day, and will keep you updated. Take care.
