Have a great day with your family, and especially Jackson!
I know how hard it can be to be away from family over the holidays. I was in the hospital two years in a row over Thanksgiving ('06 and '07), and right thru New Years' in '07...no fun! I was in rehab after back surgery in '07 and the nurses there were great, too. PT wasn't always fun, but not getting up would have been worse!
One of my docs told me this as he was there when PT came in one day. "Do you know the difference between a physical therapist and a terrorist?" Drum roll....
"You can negotiate with a terrorist."
It was true...they WILL get you up even when you don't want to!
