Hank, you are doing excellent with your recovery!!!! I m happy you are doing so well. Keep up the good work. Keep pushing for 2500 calories going heavy on the protein to heal quickly. Dont forget to still keep drinking lots of water too. Try using some benefiber and also taking in some apple juice or cider to help with the constipation. Hope your recovery continues to go at such a quick pace, you will be your old self in no time smile
