Dad took a big step today...literally. He took his regular laps around the 4th floor, but today it was without the walker. Even though the walker he's been sporting was a black, 4x4 model, Dad gave it up for walking on his own. Even though the nursing staff will likely insist he continues to use the walker, just in case, this represents another step on the path back from surgery, which continues to go well.
They have discontinued monitoring his oxygen level, which represents progress on the respiratory front, and he hasn't had pain medication for two days. Other positive signs continue to indicate Dad's well on his way to recovery from the surgery.
We continue to appreciate the comments people are leaving on the blog, getting to us by phone and through visits. Thank you all so much for your love and support. It truly makes all the difference.
