To Mike Re: well surgery is done!!!!

[Guest guest]

HI Mike, Sorry to hear you've had such a rough time. Hang in there

it will get better. My first 10 days were the worse, and then things

improved. I ended up in ER two nights in a row with breathing

problem. Apparently all the gunk in my throat was a problem and my

low hemoglobin (lost quite a bit of blood in surgery). Once I drank

pineapple juice (natural enzyme to break up mucous, etc) for a couple

of days and hacked up the gunk things got better. Also, the pain meds

can cause our breathing to slow down, so I stopped the pain meds and

went to tylenol on day 5.

Here's wishing you a speedy recovery.
