Wednesday morning is here and I am doing much better. They gave me a breathing exercise apparatus on Monday. If you've been hospitalized then I'm sure you've had one of these. Monday I could barely inhale 500ml. I could inhale nearly 1200ml by the end of Tuesday. This morning I can inhale a little more than 2000. I think 2000 is within the normal range. Prior to the surgery I could get to 3000 so this is my goal.
Dr. Stelig's team visited at 6:45am. They say I'm doing well and I expect to be discharged today. The pain associated with the chect surgery is mostly gone. Using my upper body is still a strain, but I can get up and down and move around the room.
The pain from the leg surgery is now center stage. I need to get back on my regular perscriotions so I can restart my exercises and recovery.
...doctors are here. More to come...
