Guest guest Posted August 4, 2000 Report Share Posted August 4, 2000 Rosemary, The way we are chatting on the computer, we'll never get to chat in person! Maybe those chicken in a biskets will feel better later. Good questions on how to make those mashed potatoes! I would think for now to skip the cream and sugar on the oatmeal and use skim milk and sweetnlow. One of your posts awhile back said you had an NG tube. Do you know why? Did you get released on Tuesday or Wednesday? Did you get an IV antibiotic in the hospital or just the Levaquin the night before surgery? I had an IV antibiotic and think maybe that helped to grow some extra yeast! Talk soon! Bern 7/24/00 248/236 > > > > > Hey Bern, > > > > > I don't even have the problems your having!!!!!!!!!!
