Guest guest Posted September 3, 2000 Report Share Posted September 3, 2000 Hey everybody, I got home from the hospital yesterday. I am still a bit sore, but the pain was never unbearable. I was up and out of the bed about three hours after surgery. I was ready to come home that night, but Dr. R felt it would be best if I stayed overnight in case something happened, so I ended up leaving the hospital around 10:00. Dr. R is the nicest Dr. I have ever met. I had no complications and I feel that I am getting more and more strength back each hour. I do have a few qustions that maybe some of you can answer, first I am gaging on Citricel I have tried mixing it with water, apple juice, and v8 it still makes me gag. Do you guys have any suggestions on something else that I can mix it in. My legs are sore below my knees on the back I was thinking maybe I am trying to push myself to hard. How in the world do you guys keep up the the meds you have to take I am so scared I'm gonna double up on something because I forgot I already took it. Any way on the final note, if there are any pre-ops that need a patient contact I will be more than happy to answer any questions. My email addy is Aprilsands@...

I'm so glad you are home and doing well. > I do have a few qustions that maybe some of you can answer, first I am > gaging on Citricel I have tried mixing it with water, apple juice, and v8 it > still makes me gag. Do you guys have any suggestions on something else that > I can mix it in. Nope. You only have to take a teaspoonful, though, not that whole measuring scoopful. Try it in orange juice. > My legs are sore below my knees on the back I was thinking > maybe I am trying to push myself to hard. > How in the world do you guys keep > up the the meds you have to take I am so scared I'm gonna double up on > something because I forgot I already took it. You're going to do just fine! None of the meds you are on will kill you if you accidently doubled up on them once anyway. Relax.
