Most likely get discharged Tuesday even though Monday is still a possibility. I started drinking Boost protein drinks and will need to live off of those for probably a couple of weeks, then start on soft foods.
Not sure if your doctor will want you to stick with one brand or if it's the protein they want (more likely). IMO Premier Protein is good, has 30g protein and 1g sugar. Another good one is Fairlife Core Power Elite - 42g protein and 7g sugar.

I mix a double shot espresso with caramel Premier Protein, add ice and it's just like an iced caramel latte.
 
This might be a cheap alternative, our calves really grew with it.

Just trying to bring a little joking around to lighten the mood bud. Hope you come back from this even stronger.

When @Cyclones_R_GR8 gets to move to soft foods Boxster recommends the 50 LB bags of Bachelor Chow. Versatile, serve crunchy or mushy.

It was really pleasant under our tent yesterday in the public lots in the morning. Then, right around 10:30 is when it started to become slightly uncomfortable.

Edit: I also noticed at 8:11 this evening it was completely dark. Meh.
We decided to go for an impromptu walk after dinner last night and then turned it into a walk to a nearby ice cream place. Half way there MrsWx asks if we will make it back before dark. I stupidly thought we would. Not even close, so we stopped at my parents and they gave me a ride home to get the van to pick everyone up.

Random update nobody could ever really want:

Turns out that, once the course is up and running, Canvas is pretty easy on my end. Grading is easy, and it keeps things around where Blackboard cut off access once I graded something. That was a bit of an issue when a bunch of kids from the same school cheated last fall. I can fix that if it happens again (and there's a group from the same school again----I'm counting on it).

Not as easy to set up as Blackboard through Drake, which is the setup champion. Links don't work as smoothly for students as they do in Blackboard, but I'm good at providing tech support via email to kids I've never met. The school should throw something in for that, but that ain't happening.

So freaking bored. I've barely slept since the surgery. The beds are so uncomfortable, this chair sucks. I can't wait to go home.
I feel for you. Was in the hospital for 10 days with a badly broken foot. Had to sleep on my back and I’m a stomach sleeper. Morphine made me nauseous so trying to sleep was tough.
 
There's a younger guy that was brought in Saturday. I've never seen him move and there are a bunch of people in and out of his room. As I was doing one of my many walks around the floor I noticed a comfort care packet outside his room. Don't know the circumstances but he looks way too young.
