UGH!!!!!!

It's over and the only thing that will make me happier is a full recovery. Constant congestion, sore throat and nothing tastes as bad as liquid percocet. LOL

Actually it's not as bad as I was told. Yes basically just water the first day, but I made sure I did not skip a beat of meds and I am drinking plenty of water. In fact, I'm only sleeping in 2 hour shifts to make sure I get the meds and keep everything hydrated. I really do think that's the trick to it. In fact I was even able to have some smashed taters and some small amounts of turkey.

Something I should have had done 20 years ago.
