Post surgery update

It's been 6 days since the surgery.
Jason is doing great and healing well. He feels strong and thinks he can do everything by himself which drives me up the wall sometimes.
We still monitor his blood pressure and temperature every few hours. Blood pressure still looks a little high so we may need to call the doctor's office tomorrow and ask for advice.

Yesterday was his first time out of the house. He got a haircut and we went to the pharmacy. Both places were less than 5 minutes away so he did not have to ride in the car for long.
He is also walking a little more every day which is really good. We visited some neighbors across the street and we took a longer slow walk around the neighborhood yesterday (in the rain!)

Other than that, I think he's getting bored staying at home.
He's still on a liquid diet - drinking lots of water, G2, Isopure protein drinks, broth and an occasional jello. We have to measure every amount of liquid intake he gets because he needs atleast 1440 cc to stay hydrated so he needs to be sipping liquids every minute.

He's also still taking his pain medication (Loratab) every 6 hours.

On Tuesday he gets to start on a puree diet but he feels he can start that tomorrow. So we'll see.

As for me, I am just exhausted.
