Not quite 100%

I was told that the second day after surgery would be the worst - they were right - very right. There is a lot of pain when getting up and down but finding a comfortable position to sit or lie isn't easy. I did my first blended meat this morning - do not, I Repeat DO NOT add this to your diet unless it is life or death.

JC is the worlds best caregiver and his input from his experience at this surgery has been very helpful.

This will be short with hopes the the coming days will be better and I am able to write more.

Much love - Chuck

so glad to hear you have survived the most horrific part of your journey............blended meat. I can almost taste it and i am reminded of Rosemary's Baby. My mum told me that if you pinch your nose when you drink you can't taste it.

keep smiling

Chuck, great to hear you made it through. I can already tell it's working, as even your posts are getting smaller.

We're sending love (along with all the bad humor). Take good care!

Chuck,
Just have JC add some of those good ole New Mexican Christmas chili's to the mix and that will fit it up - LOL! I bet Paula Dean would like that recipe on the food network! Hang in there you are almost through this phase.

Love, Peace & Light,
