HOLY CARP!!!

From Facebook: So apparently today they're going to have him try walking a little! (I understand there's a convenience store next door to the hospital so if any of you need any milk, speak up now, and i'll have him get it for you as long as he's up anyway......) |

Amazing to be able to get up and walk so soon! A miracle of modern medical science.

That is great news! Not surprising they are getting him up and moving; lying in bed is not good for you in a lot of ways... |

Okay . . . if y'all say so; I'm not medically trained. But it sure seems soon after subjecting his body to such a significant trauma.

I'm no medical professional, but I keep hearing that the sooner you get vertical, the better. (our library lends out medical equipment, and so I've heard lots of post op stories - nothing as serious as Jon's procedure, but it's certainly a common theme) |

Well, for starters, I assume that the transplant folks have done this before. The problems with laying around a lot, as I understand them, are loss of muscle and also increased risk of blood clots.

In the other thread, bach posted something like "just woke up and reading through this thread" and at first I read it as "Jon woke up and reading through this thread" and I thought "holy crap, didn't take him long to make it back onto TNCR!"

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
|
Yes. If they are getting him up today it is a very good sign. |

Getting the patient moving quickly is one of the most important things you can do. Mrs. George was walking the evening of her total hip replacement. |

Thanks for the update. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

Jon is tough and can do this. It really is the best thing for recovery. It's gonna be hard, but he's motivated. |
