Seven days post-op
May 12th 2005,
It has been seven days since my surgery and i'm getting there slowly!! I am needing my good friend o2 less now as they have been able to find the problem with my breathing and give me meds to help. I have been working with the speech therapist regarding my swallowing problem and we are making some improvement. My surgeon wants me to drink more before he will even consider sending me home, but he is very kind and considerate and knows that I am doing the best I can. So until I am able to drink a lot more the IV line stays in.
I have been making some good progress with the physio I am able to get out of bed and walk a few steps at a time with the help of a zimmer frame. To think that I wouldn't try the zimmer for a while I am doing good with it now, the next step is crutches.
