Chad's Day 2




Chad did not sleep much last night because of the pain, but he is having a good day. He has sat up in a chair and has taken three walks so far. The Dr. wants him to walk 6 times today, so he is trying to meet his goal. When he walks he has to drag lots of plastic tubes and machines behind him, IVs , drug pump, abdominal drains, etc., but some of that stuff should be removed over the next few days. He has eaten jello, sherbet and drank some Gatorade and water. He can drink 800 cc of liquids today or about 27 ounces.
