You did it!

For me, the biggest issue was the anxiety going into it.

I am now 8 weeks post, and am near 100% recovered. The time flew to this point. Weeks 4-5 were the biggest turnaround. Congrats to you!

The showers do help big time. I would take at least 2 per day, nice long warm showers and I would sit on the tub floor.

Another tip I had was when sleeping sitting up, place one pillow on each side for your arms to rest. It really helped comfort wise for me.

If you had it done at Stanford or if you have a Whole Foods near you, they have a great selection of fresh soups that can puree very easily when you get around to it. The Chicken Tortilla was my favorite.

Hang in there!
