Recovery continuing to be EXCELLENT! Erik was wide awake, and up and using the walker by 8:00am this morning! He's in good spirits and feeling a lot better.
One of his goals is to do 5 walks and chair stints today - up from yesterday - and to do as much as he can on his own, which he has been. The plan is to transition from the epidural drip to oral pain meds today, so his other goal is to decrease the drip by one level each hour, which he's done, and he's dealing very well with less medication. The doctor thinks he might be able to go home tomorrow!
Everyone here has been so great - he sees both his surgeon and pain management doctor every day, and the nurses and aides are all so helpful and friendly. It's a lovely place to be if you have to be in the hospital.
