I must say i feel great, I've been walking lite pain, no nausea. The Doctors n Nurses are wonderful st Overlook Hospital in Summit, N J. Terrific staff very attentive. As of now I haven't drank anything. My nurse will bring me broth and jello a little later its about 8:11am. My family has been very supportive, which makes healing much smoother. Hopefully i'll get discharged today
