Mark had a good day yesterday, they got him dressed and he got up into his chair in the morning for a couple of hours, he can't actually go anywhere because he's still got the stand holding the drain bag for the lumbar drain (I'm not there so I couldn't push it around for him) but he was pleased with his efforts.
He got up again at tea time and ate his tea while in his chair. He was up for another hour and a half. He was absolutely goosed by the time he got back into bed but satisfied that he had been up. More importantly, the pain that he's been plagued with over the last 18 months wasn't there. He was in pain but more operation pain than anything else.
When I rang him at 9pm he was in a deep sleep from all his exertions and thought it was the next morning and nearly had a panic that he'd not remembered anything about the night before. It took a while for him to come round and understand his time frame.
He's getting up again today and they're talking about taking the lumbar drain out in the next couple of days, after that they have to wait and see that it doesn't keep draining through the hole and if not he'll be able to come home. So fingers crossed nothing else happens over the next couple of days to set him back and he might be home at the end of the week.
