Hi Rosie,
It sounds like you an I are on the same page. Finally had a cup do coffee this morning. Throat still hurts from the tubes, incisions are sore and the one where the port is hurts like h..l. I have been following dr. Small to a T. I have forced 2 protein shakes down today. Liquid pain med is not doing much good. But, I would do it all over again if I had to. Rest and take care of yourself.
