5 days after Surgery!

Sep 16, 2010

It is now 5 day after surgery, and I am doing well. For 4 day I had to do the clear liquid diet which consist of broth, jello and diluted apple, cranberry or grape juice. I could only get about 1 oz of anything to stay down. Overall I am feeling great. My hat is off the surgical team of Dr. Denham @ Northshore University HealthSystem in Evanston Ill. I am still a bit sore, but it's to be expected. I am so looking forward to the day I put on my first real outfit, to see how it feels and looks. The most important thing for me is that I can BREATHE! I have not had to use my nebulizer. They gave me treatments at the hospital but I haven't had to use it at home. Also the steroids are down, they bumped me up during the surgery and now doing a slow tapper to get rid of them completely.  I will be back for frequent update. Thank you all for the support.
