Day after Surgery - 13th

Went to house to pick up wheelchair - quickly change - Matthew slept uneventfully thru night - commented few times on how little he hurts compared to last time. - So Glad! - When got back with chair - we did few exercises before therapy girls came by to practice - asked if we could get in chair by selves - therapist wanted to observe and offer help if needed. - Matt did it with no problems! - amazing compared to first surgery. I am so proud of him. Drugs are keeping him very sleepy - hasn't been able to keep anything down yet - but not really using pain pump either - so things are ok - Paley came by to check - advised turning routing, therapy on Monday, pool in about week, see Standard on 29th (he's away) - said he doesn't have to lie on stomach! - Matthew's happy about that one! Therapist came back to do few exercises - legs up and down, out to side, then pulling heel in to bend knee - he did really well with it all!.
