Another Update on ME...

I had an doctors appointment today and all went well, they removed a drainage tube, so one down and one to go! I have another appointment in 2 weeks, i think the other tube will get removed then, I hope so anyway. I am now able to start on some soft high protein foods, so at least i get alittle something to eat. The hard part is drinking, I need to take sips instead of actual drinking. But i am learning!
I am not able to swallow any type of pills, so my meds must be crushed. Well, I have not been taking my Effexor because the type i had, when crushed was terrible!! Come to find out they should not be crushed!! Someone @ the hospital dropped the ball there!! No worries, I got that straightened out and am back on my meds as of today, so hopefully in a few days i will be back to me, I just dont like who i am without my medication, things go much smoother with them!!
Oh i almost forgot, I have lost a total of 26lbs. since starting the shakes before the sugery! I can tell my breathing is already better!!!
That's it for now, Hopefully i well feel like doing some light projects soon, I have been thinking of all the things i want to do, just waiting for my body to catch up with my mind, LOL!

Lisa, great to hear you're on the upswing! Keep up the great work and just think of it this way - when we were kids we were always told to take little sips, right? We were on the right track then and we just didn't know it!
Hugs, Kimberly

When I read that you tried crushing your Effexor, I was surprised. I was on those pills just a couple of months ago (I have switched to something else) and couldn't imagine taking them crushed. At this time, this must be hard but it will get better. The weight will just keep dropping...imagine 26lbs so far. Great Job!!!

So glad to hear that things are doing great and I can't wait to see new projects. Take Care and relax right now.

PS: I could not imagine taking my Effexor crushed up.
