    Re: Husband has regrets :(

    I'm sorry you are both going through so much. What does the surgeon say about how he is feeling? Are they giving him meds? Would it help for him to stay on soft foods or even liquids longer?

    Re: Best advice for someone getting surgery.

    Best advice is to walk as soon as you are allowed to get up post surgery. And walk, as much as you can walk. I had a really easy recovery and I swear this is why.
