JUNE 22

I continue to be humbled that people are actually reading and following my progress- Especially two friends who are preparing for the same surgery- so what started as simple amusement for myself is now a little bit of a responsibility. So......

Let's talk medications and side effects. I have figured out over time that one of the big issues following these kinds of surgeries is........ CONSTIPATION(Yuck!)
The combination of pain meds and the need for iron in your blood is a difficult scenario.

Fortunately for me, the pain meds are not necessary, so all that I am balancing is the supplement of iron. And ..... not that I am a medical genius or an expert on any level but I can say : PRUNE JUICE works! That's my medical advice for the day.

Wednesday was a good day-- More exercise, more rest and a nice dinner with my Dad and a surprise visit from Krista.
Better every day!
