Well, I have had more fun than this............

Surgery was Friday. Spent Friday sleeping the day away.
Saturday - out of bed. walked about 30 feet down the hall and back. sat in the chair for an hour. did all sorts of exercises. very proud of myself. six hours on cpm machine bending to 50 degrees.
Sunday. walked about 35 feet down the hall and back. more exercises. up in chair for a hour. on continuous passive motion machine for 6 hours bending up to 60 degrees. Morphine PCA off, glad to see that sucker go. Despite all remedies not to be, the morphine did horrible constipate me. oh well, that is now taken care of, but no fun.

so i guess i am doing well. i can get myself up and down to bedside commode. food is good. my best friend brought me chocolate and bath and body works lotion today. what a gal!!!!
maybe home tomorrow, depends on what he says in am. i am sort of grumpy today, maybe i will be in a better frame of mind tomorrow.

thanks to all for the thoughts and prayers. much appreciated. will update y'all in a couple of days..
