Recovery Day 7 - Update (4/25)

I can't believe it's been a week since Dad's surgery...

I must say that Dad was feeling great yesterday, but seemed a tired and more groggy today. He also seemed to be in more pain. He didn't sleep well (again), but was very eager to get out of bed and continue his laps around the hospital. His drive to get better can easily be seen in his enthusiasm to get back in shape!

Dad is loving the popsicles and water--he sounds better and can talk much longer than previous days. The doctor removed many tubes today--they removed a major drainage tube from his chest and his catheter. He says that it feels great to not have all that stuff hanging off of him when he walks and moves around in his chair/bed.

A lot of the morning Dad was tired and was in and out of naps. We checked in after we left, and he was chipper and talkative.

I left with him a print out of everyone's email and comments, and he is enjoying reading through them. He thanks everyone for their continued support.
