Well, better part of a week out now and I feel amazing, all things considered. UPMC has such an amazing program up here. From the time I walked in the door, everyone has treated me so well. I want to thank everyone for their incredible well wishes and prayers. I am up to eating 2 ounces of full liquids an hour. I am also on a nightly tube feeding. Neither are too bad. I walk all over the place here. Part of the reason I've done so well, I think. Goodnight everyone. Thanks again for everything.

    Hi Jimbo,

    Congrats
    Hello Jimbo!
    So nice to see your recent post. Congratulations on a successful surgery! I agree with William, the more you get up and walk around the better for you. Too much laying in the bed will cause you to retain fluid in the lungs etc. So great to hear good news. Keep up the good work. Keep us posted.
