@CHELLEB33 How are you feeling?

I'm feeling much better. I was released yesterday evening from the hospital. They felt I was doing pretty good so they removed the picc line. Right now just trying to stay hydrated it's so hard for me to get all my fluids in. How do you guys do it?

I carry a Vitamin Water and a regular bottle of water with me all the time but the vitamin water seems to go down easier than regular water. I think thats so weird but it's true for me. Sometimes I drink tea. I think it's almost like a tolerance, the more you make your body do it the more it listens. I try to remember to take a sip every 15min. I think it's really just a learning process and a lot of trial and error. Some days you aren't going to get all the fluids in that you need and some days you will. Best of luck!

Well today is the day! I am about to take my husband to the hospital!!!! He has his surgery at 11am. I am so happy for him but I think i am way more nervous for him then I was for myself. My stomach has been in knots since I woke up. Can everyone please pray for a successful and complication free surgery. We have only been married 7 months and I just don't know what I would do if anything happened to him. I have complete faith in our surgeon but for some reason my nerves are getting the best of me!

Best of luck to your hubby, Edie. I actually laughed out loud over the dog and mustard thing. You kill me! That great sense of humour and attitude will carry you and your husband through this process!

And Ron- although we've never met, I have been incredibly moved by your story. Your perseverance and strength is inspiring and your wife's support and love is admirable. You are a lucky man in some ways. Each day things will get better for you and you will gain strength and you will walk and maybe even run 6 miles again. It can't be easy but for what it's worth, you have this community pulling for you.

Glad to hear you are doing good! I'm doing great! I only lost 5 lbs the 1st 2 weeks & haven't weighed since so i don't get discouraged, I go back to the dr. in a week so I will weigh then to see how much I have lost in 6 weeks. Cloths are feeling loose, but not too loose to quit wearing yet. I don't even feel like I had the surgery now! I'm amazed at how easy it was for me, thank-goodness!! How about those sooners!!! not too bad!!!

@@edie091371 you guys are going to be the dynamic duo. That is so awesome that no only will you each have support but your partner will truly understand where you are coming from. Everything will be just fine. It makes total sense that you are more nervous for him than you were for yourself. I look forward to hearing about all the healthy things you will be doing in the future.

We are in Kevin's room now and everything went fine. He did have a hiatal hernia repair. He is snoring away and I am taking advantage of him not running his mouth for once...lol. Poor guy doesn't realize he only has one good hour left before the mean nurses come in to make him walk!!!!
