14 days til surgery
Hi Ya’all,<br>I am very excited and nervous. The
surgery date is getting closer. I was wondering what some
good sources of protein are, other than shakes. Dr.’s
office says that I will be on a regular diet when I
leave the hospital. 
I figure cottage cheese, yogurt
and eggs are good.<br>Also, when can I start driving
again? What is the length of recovery time? How long
will I need help to do daily activities, ie. shopping
and housework? I am the primary care taker of my two
children. What can I do now to make it easier for those
around me?<br>Please, I need some advice. I appreciate
all the help I can get. <br><br>Dottie<br>Pre-op

14 days-the count down is ON!!! I drove at about
3 weeks. I was doing a little shopping at about a
week. As for housework, I never did mind about the
little things! No kids here, but i would guess having
your kids romp on you or picking them up would be out
of the question. GOOD LUCK-Better days are coming
