Glad to hear it. They had me walking in postop soon too. Seems to work well

Congratulations on making it to the other side! I hope your recovery is speedy and without incident.

(by the way, nice binary "2" quote)

Glad to see you on this side of the mountain! One day at a time. Here's praying for a quick and uneventful recovery!

Great to hear! Hope you continue with a speedy recovery

Walking and taking naps are about the best things you can do post-op. Wishing you all the best as you recover.

Another success story. Congrats Aviator.

Nice going! I wasn't able to walk for a couple of days after surgery - too many complications. I've made up for it, though. Keep up the good work - it will pay off in the long run.

take it easy, and no chasing the nurses

I was transferred from ICU this morning and I am getting stronger each day, but not by much! I am ambulatory but tire easily, especially easy in the afternoons. Tomorrow Erroll be my 7th POD and I can truthfully say that I don't like surgery! I'm just eager to get home.

Jack -- Congratulations! It's good to see you here on the other side! No, surgery will never be a voluntary activity for me, either. But those days will fade in the rear view mirror quickly, I expect!

Jack, good to hear from you and to see you've been sprung from ICU - I'm now 18 days post-surgery and am finally feeling a little stronger. Shortness of breath is improving, but edema is decreasing very slowly. One day at a time!
