We have liftoff!

Day three post-op and I finally did it. I was able to walk without getting dizzy and almost fainting. I was getting a little worried, but I was assured this happens sometimes and I'm doing great. I the morning I took a short walk around the room and came back to sit in the chair. I sat in the chair for a good five hours and then had PT again. I made it down the hall and back and into the bed. Surprise my walking wasn't over - I had to get up again and go to the ladies room. I've been totally disconnected from all aids and have to do everything on my own. I must admit I liked the bag, not having to get up and go to the restroom and not even knowing when u went - LOL! Back to reality and time to get to work. Each time I do get up I feel better, so I need to keep getting up. The plan is for me to learn some more tricks today (stairs) and then I'll be released. Am I ready? We'll see by the end of the day. Til then . . .
