September 28th

Finally I can have some water and they start me on soft foods.  I had cream of wheat, vanillia pudding and some other stuff but I didn't eat it.  They asked me what I wanted to have first and I told them a Dr. Pepper because I had not been able to drink one in years because of my  bladder.  So I got one. It was sooo good. I didn't have any really horrible pain.  I was on a drip with Dillaudid in it.  That is a mighty powerful drug.  Our preacher Brother Warren came to the hospital to see me.  That was really nice of him.  My dad came to see me and brought me 1 dozen pink roses.  They were beautiful.  In between these times I had my first pouch to start leaking.  They had a young PCT to change the bag out.  She didn't do it right so they called for an Ostomy nurse to come change it. For lunch they brought me Cream of chicken soup, chocolate ice cream, orange sherbert ice cream and sweet tea.  I didn't eat the cream of chicken- YUCK!!!  Then for dinner the same thing.
