I am so happy to hear you are doing well. I had a sore throat for about 3 weeks--it is from being intubated. I ate all of my meals at the cafeteria at St Vincents. 2 days before I left CA, I walked to the Burger King with my husband. The food at the cafeteria was better:)

Cindy,
I am so happy to hear your wonderful news.   You are definitely one of our success stories.   YAHOOO!
Ask for lots of ice cream and ice pops.   That will help with the throat.   It will go away in a day or two.
Hugs to you,
Mei Mei   ;D

You are truly a success story with the surgeons at HEI cannot wait for you to share everything once you return home and settle in will be a inspiration to any Newbies out there even if they just send their reports to the doctors for a telephone consult they truly seem to care about people...
