Sheree walked around the quarter mile race track in the hospital today. Okay, maybe not a quarter mile, but it was a rectangular walk to the nurses station from her room at the end of the hall and around the area, and she did great. She is wearing her new brace that allows her to sit and walk. Very fashionable. I might have to learn to sit straighter or wear higher heals. All in all, very pleased with how the walk went. The physical therapist commented on how Dr. Whitaker patients often do very well. So that is exciting as news.
Sheree is resting now, but indicated that she wants to walk again after resting a while and before going to bed tonight. So that may end up being walking three times today. They indicated that walking 3 to 4 times is what often happens on the 3rd or 4th day. Again, very exciting results.
Numbers for the day: Equipment with numbers is disappearing, but the last number on the IV pump says 100. It must mean 100%. Go Sheree.
More later, but very exciting to see how Sheree is doing the first day after surgery.
