Well, that was interesting!!!
I had surgery on the 16 of April, and am only now able to get on the computer. I don't do stairs very well.
I want to thank all of you for your posts. Because of what you said, I got up about 5 or 6 hours after surgery and began to walk, and walk and walk some more. It was not always easy, but I kept going.
My surgery was rather uneventful, and recovery has left me with some unforseen challenges. But I feel good today, and I am moving better each day.
So now, I am taking it slow, resting, walking and sipping.
Thanks again for all of the wonderful advice.
Jamie
