Sunday August 8

274.5

3 days post surgery. Everything is going well. People are walking with me. Mostly my family, kids friends (thanks Jay C) and my neighbor Mary. I can only go on slow short walks. Jay C and I walked a mile Sunday though. I am doing 3 or 4 walks a day.

I am still on the pain meds. Don't want to push things. Nikki took off one of my bandages today. I will tak off the rest tomorrow. I had 6 bandages but 7 incisions. I made my own broth today. Took water, onions, garlic, celery, red bell pepper and tomatoes and cooked them. Then I used my wonderful immersion blender and blended it and strained it all out. Then I added some soy sauce and a little worechestershire. It is plenty flavorful and has a lot less sodium than if I bought it. Other than that I am taking my vitamins and prevacid and drinking my water and v-8. I drink a little diet v-8 splash but I don't really like the fake sugar taste. I do eat crystal lite candies to rehydrated my mouth but mostly I drink water. It is midnight now so I can take another dose of my pain meds and it will knock me out so I can go back to sleep.
