Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 - Thanks for the play by play! It gives us future Losers something to know what to expect. Take care!

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Hooray!!!!! You made it through the leak test...the most horrible experience in my surgery. The doc said I moved, so I had to drink another cup...I know my eyes were bulging because thats the way I felt..I drank thinking dear God get me through this! The doc finally had mercy and said " thats enough...don't make her drink anymore " I compared the taste to concentrated aspirin juice. Good for you discovering the label on the dessert! We really have to take charge and make sure everything is right for us! Good Luck sweetheart. Hugs, D. W akwalker13@...> wrote: I had my swallow/leak test this morning.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 , that leak test was the worst part of my entire hospital and post op experience. It was the most painful drink of yuck I've ever had to choke down. I'm glad you made it! You are doing great. lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
