right at the same time two members of the surgeons staff came into her room. They asked how long she was in bed and proceeded to get her out of bed to walk a few steps to a regular chair in order to sit up straight. Seems the surgeon believes in movement and healing and none of his patients are going to lay around in bed for a few days of R&R if he can help it.

Sounds good to me.

They told her she would only be in ICU for one more day and then moved to a regular room. Physical therapy will commence as soon as she is settled in.

She is doing good, which is what counts and the sooner she can come home the better in my book.

THANKS AGAIN,EVERY ONE OF YOU.
