ByronLV 16 Posted January 9, 2019 Mel and Jdy how did your surgeries go? I was out of recovery and in my room by 11:45am, and then taking my first walk by 12:30pm. I’m taking Water, ice, tea, and Jello without issues. Took my first pain medication by mouth this evening. Did find out ice cold water for swallowing pills is a little painful — warm water works much better for me. They indicated I should be discharged by about 10:00am provided I can get 4oz of Protein Shake down within 1 hour — and keep it down. 1 1 jdy83 and Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
