These non-surgery days are anything but days of rest. They worked with his wound vacs this morning - those things seem somewhat unreliable. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't, and it seems that his skin stays wet way too often. Of course this isn't good for his "good skin", so they needed to figure how to fix that up a bit.
Physical Therapy today was quite tough, but he did it! He was able to walk to and from the window again, and this time he actually took a second to look out. The first time he walked to the window he was in such a hurry (scared he might not be able to make it back) that he didn't even take a moment to check out the view.
Today he was also was able to move himself (with others around for support) to the chair where he sat for two hours. By that time he was finished with that he was exhausted and wished the chair just reclined back so he could rest there, but he did move himself back to the bed. All major accomplishments! After all of this, he napped! He's been sleeping much better (even at night). He doesn't sleep full nights, but at least consecutive hours.
Tomorrow it's back to surgery and then Friday - LET THE GRAFTING BEGIN!
