Post-surgery Day 2

This morning Dr Mayo came by to check on Matt.  He thought Matt looked really good, ordered the nurses to remove his catheter and IV.  If he needs any pain management he'll take some pills orally.

Physical therapy came around 10:30 am and got Matt on his feet.  His blood pressure is on the low side and he struggled with light headedness so only stood for about 5 minutes.  They'll come again tomorrow.

Later this afternoon I helped Matt sit up and he walked to the bathroom and felt great!  He then proceeded to wash his hands in the sink, wash his hair, and brush his teeth.  He was very encouraged.

Matt is doing well on the CPM.  He's already almost up to 90 degrees flexion with no pain!

That's all for today...

  2. Ah, sounds so much different from (definitely better than) the last time. Hope Matt is on his way home soon!
