Get Up Or Die

Entry 23
Friday, December 10


The day after his prostate surgery, Harry is making a good recovery. He walked back and forth along his ward hallway three times in the day, each time farther than the last. He was slightly dizzy at first and weary at the end of his walks. His nurse who we'll call V said we could take his picture but we can't capture V's friendliness, encouragement and good humor that went a long way to getting Harry on his feet quickly.  He pointed out to Harry in blunt terms the reasons why he has to move out of the bed. Clots. In spite of a soup, juice and jello diet, Harry is a very cooperative patient and we have pics to prove it.

The quote of the day goes to Tom.  When Brekyn gave Harry his giardia toy (See Blog Entry 1) and I remarked on how it was the cutest microbe toy, Tom quipped, "But not as cute as clap."
