Afternoon Update, Postop Day 1
Today has been a great day for Mike! It started this morning by getting a lot of his tubes out and then sitting up in a chair. He stayed in the chair most of the day in the company of Kathy and Bonnie. He ate a delicious gourmet clear liquid lunch and has been eating ice chips like they're going out of style. We have been sharing many of your comments and thoughts with him and will continue to do so. Tomorrow he should be feeling good enough for us to post a message from him. He is filling the ideal, compliant patient role by doing coughing and deep breathing regularly. The staff has told him this should be the most difficult day as far as the pain goes....well on his way to easy street.
