I took a nap then had help getting out of bed, but I did it faster and with less pain by far than the first time. I was shaking from the pain for a bit, then got the walker and made another lap and at a faster pace than my first go around. I'm back in my room now sitting in the chair and my abdomen is not as sore as it was earlier. Also, I put in a "dinner" order... chicken broth, red jello, and orange resource breeze. Since I have not eaten for 2 days, I am sure this will be delightful. John, my nurse, said he was amazed at how well I did getting up and walking just one day after surgery.
