Chris is up and moving! After a nice nappy, he did a slow lap or two. But after getting a little fuel in his tank at dinner, he posted a record 6 laps of the unit! Working first on duration, not yet worrying about speed, he maneuvered the course like a champion.
Obviously his energy is up from the slow start this morning. His pain has been very manageable, not pressing his 'feel good' button hardly at all this evening. Which is good, since I believe they plan on taking it away tomorrow, replacing it with an oral medication that packs less of a punch.
With all the exercise he has had today, I am hopeful that he will fall asleep well this evening. With a good night's rest, tomorrow should be a banner day. It is amazing to me (and to him I think) that he had open heart surgery just 2 days ago! His incision is looking really good - not at all what I expected to see. And he is able to get in and out of bed, or a chair, by himself. Being in such good shape before surgery is really serving him well now. Having strong legs and abs is really helping his maneuvering up and down. I am really proud of him!
