Surgery Recovery, Day 3 - Evening

This is Caroline.

Dad obviously posted the earlier post, and gave you a clear overview of the morning and early afternoon.

He had his first guests this afternoon.
He has been talking more (than yesterday) to my mom, Kevin and I, and watching college football.

He walked around the floor a few more times than yesterday, and is actually getting ready to go on another walk with the evening nurse (whom has been his nurse for the past two nights). Real Time: They just made one loop and he passed the room saying he wanted to make a second loop, and they are off...This is the first time he has completed two loops of the floor. The nurse claims the floor loop is 1/15 of a mile.

He is still commenting on his breath and noticing the difference of breathing post surgery than before surgery when he did not think about breathing. Dad has now returned and he and the nurse are talking about breathing...He especially notices it when he gets in and out of bed and when he sits down in the chair or gets back in bed after walking. He is also on the same drug that he can dispense himself, and it sounds like the nurse might give him some Tylenol to help with how he feels at certain times when he is breathing.

Not that dad has paid attention, but I think the view could be worse...The image below is looking west.
