John's recovery is going so well. His energy level is back to normal and his incisions are almost completely healed. He went to the doctor Tuesday and got his drain tube removed so he is able to be more comfortable. When he was at the doctor, he found out he has 3 more weeks of protein shakes before he can transition into pureed foods. It seems that what he misses most about food is the crunch. He is not hungry but he wishes he could eat his meals rather than drink them. It seems that it takes him all day to drink 24 oz of protein. Just as he finishes one drink, it is time to start another. This liquid phase is crucial to his recovery and he is taking it all in stride. In any event, it is so great to see how much he has improved in such a short time.
