I've noticed lately the way I laugh, changed. I don't know if it's because I'm still recovering or not? Strange, but just a thought.

I tend to just throw the pill in my mouth, and get a gulp, tilt my head back to submerge the pill and swallow. Don't know how to explain, but I try my best to not let my tongue get in the way when I motion to swallow.

LOL, thanks for the advice. I'm feeling great now so I'll definitely try them out.

As a final goodbye to summer, the fam and I are going to King's Dominion on Sunday. It's been 2 months post-op...do you think I'd be able to ride the rides just fine?

The first few days, I regretted it. That's only because I was in so much pain and discomfort and pretty much thought it would never end. Few weeks out now and I forget sometimes that I even had the surgery.

Or can you do something about them? Can anyone recommend good lotions or anything that are good at making them go away?

I kinda have the same thing. Especially when I get up in the morning, I feel really bad. I'm guessing it's because I'm so dehydrated waking up!

Well, I actually can't wait to have a soda later on. I never got to try my Tru Blood drinks.

If you're having trouble getting liquids in, get a timer from the kitchen section at Walmart or Target. At the hospital, I had to drink an ounce of liquid every 15 minutes and the timer helped a lot. So I've made it a habit now! Also Gatorade is a heaven-sent for getting rehydrated.

Yeah, I love them! Oriental is my favorite.

Tiff hit the nail on the head. I would be embarrassed too. I'd rather take home some yummy food for leftovers!

Oh, Thank God! Thanks for the tip on the wate tiff! I just had some and the saltyness is killing me. And yes, my stepmom has billions of those too. I'm going to look out for the veggie one, it sounds yummy!

I'm looking for alternative broths because I've gotten kinda sick of the swanson broth...But in my house we have plenty of ramen noodles! (I used to LOVE these, but now I don't care for them :confused1:) Since I can easily just take out the mix, I was wondering if these would be okay?

OH okay, I see now. Thanks!
