LivingFree! 478 Posted October 18, 2014 Just wanted to give an update. Surgery went well, approx. 2 hours. I had to wait a long time in recovery until my room was ready. The pain is not bad at all. The dry mouth is pretty bad. Luckily I followed suggestions and brought dry mouth rinse. Hopefully I will be able to drive by the time of our next meeting. Hi Jan!!! Thanks for updating us so soon. So glad to hear you're doing well. And---congratulations! Take it slow and I hope you're feeling well enough to join us on Nov 1. Sherry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jols 27 Posted November 1, 2014 Hello! It sounds like the weather tomorrow will be pretty bad with possibility of snow so I will probably not make it. Still doing well two weeks post surgery, just trying to get all that protein! That is a little hard, but next week I can move on to mashed foods so that will make it easier.

Hi Jan, Thanks for your update! Been thinking about you. Glad to hear you're doing well, and totally "normal" with struggling to get in all the Protein and water--our biggest challenge right at first. I totally understand--we'll miss you, but I'm glad you won't be out there on the roads dealing with a snow & ice! Hope to see you in December. Keep taking care, and enjoy those mashies. . .
