One Step at a Time

At present, I am sitting in a chair telling my mom what to type. Since Thursday night I have made alot of progress. I started sitting up in a chair yesterday morning,  my foley cath came out and my pain medication was decreased last night. I have walked twice already this morning, my nasogastric tube has been removed, my oxygen is now off, and I am presently sitting in a chair. I am doing a breathing exercise called incentive spirometry every hour to keep my lungs expanded and prevent pneumonia. I am hoping to transfer to a regular room today. The Drs who have seen me today already have commented on how much better I am doing.
