You ask toolmaker a question. I am going to try to help him. I am his wife and he is very sore and would not be able to sat here on the computer. Don't burn yourself out to fast and that sounds like what you are doing. I would eat something tomorrow. Remember when surgery time comes liquid is all you have. Enjoy yourself before surgery like he did and he was ready to go June 1. The day of his surgery, a couple of hours after surgery they gave him chicken broth, grape juice, 2 oz of jello and water. You want just be on protein drinks along. Just remember about two hours after surgery they want you to walk, walk, walk!!!! You should also have a machine they have gave you to blow in on to get your lungs ready for surgery. You need to be using that now. It helps to make your lungs stronger and helps prevent pneumonia. They will put a tube down your throat the day of your surgery so it helps with the mucus part as well. You need to be doing that at least 4 to 6 times a day 10 times each. You will be able to do this. If you have anymore questions please fill free to let us know and I will try to help you the best way I can. Good luck!
