  U did remember?  aww that must have been funny for ur DH not being clued in and easier for ur kids to hear : )

I did find after 2 weeks I did not use the walker in the house as it was too large for some areas and was more of a hazard...

I am so impressed with how well u r doing....fabulous : )

Selma~I have a cane that I am walking with. They gave me a cane instead of a walker because they said I was walking to good to use the walker, and honestly I am much more comfortable with the cane :)

I do walk....but not a whole lot right now...I am still only 3 days post op. So, walking can be tricky. But I do get up enough.

Melody~ haha...I don;y even remember posting in ICU....HAHA.

~ I remember waking up in excruciating pain.....thinking about lying purpke monkeyes

  Didn't they suggest u  use a walker? I was shown how to use one in the hospital, but already had one at home from a previous leg surgery...so did not bring one home, but a walker was suggested for the first few weeks and they wanted me up and walking.....not a lot, but u do need to move about in the next week or 2....

I just checked facebook and Sheila's husband updated us about an hour ago, "To all concerned, Sheila's surgery went well...she is now in post op recovery icu ...and will be for two days before being moved to a regular room...". Just wanted to give you all an update, I've been waiting all day myself for an update and figured I would let you all know she's doing well. :)

I wish you the best hun and hope all goes well tomorrow. I've already got purple shirts laid out for me and my girls to wear for you tomorrow. Figured it would be smart to lay them out so I don't forget tomorrow. It seems like I forget things while sleeping, it's like my brain purges info lol. You're in our thoughts and prayers! Hugs!
