Hi Deb,
I am sorry to hear that your dad is still having trouble. It is a tough surgery to go though without any complications. Please tell him that he is in my thoughts and prayers.Does he walk? walking will help him a great deal. He may not feel up to it but he will see the difference it makes in less than a week a little at first try to get him up to at least 1 mile a day.They made me get out of bed the second day after surgery I was holding on to my IV pole for dear life at first made one lap around the ward and would drop back into bed sleep and when I woke up I felt better not alot better but better by the fourth day I was during laps and draging that IV pole. Now I walk a mile a day 2 1/2 mile trips on the treadmill my doctor says it has alot to do with my rapid recoverey.
