She's up!
It took us a while to get her sitting up. She didn't have any problems with a low pressure headache as she was sitting up. It was more that we were distracted with her roommate and watching TV while we were doing it. As Heather got to 60 degrees erect she started getting really uncomfortable. We didn't know what to do to make her more comfortable then the physical therapist showed up.
We got her to sit at the edge of her bed, then stood up. She walked a short ways down the hall, then back to her room to sit down in the chair. I got a shot of her smiling in the chair, but the lighting isn't good so I put the picture of her walking on the front page.
Heather, you must be the strongest woman I know. Out of bed, sitting, and walking the day after surgery. You look beautiful sitting in that chair. Way to go girl!
Nice to see you walking
Hi Heather, great to see you walking. This picture is very encouraging that all will go well with the surgery.
So, what was the distraction with the roommate? Good to see you up and about Heather! The updates are great Nate!

You look great Heather! I envy your strength and determination! One look at that IV in your arm makes me want to hurl; I hate needles! Wanna run down to Memorial Gym and work out? (remember that night with Kat and running back to Estabrooke?) :-)
Heather,
You are doing great!! The photos are wonderful, Nate. Keep the news coming on the blog. Heather, you look very good in the photos and not like someone who has just had surgery. Take care and keep up the good progress.

Inspiring
Heather, you are an inspiration to me! Seeing your positive attitude and determination to recover quickly has inspired me to go ahead and get my TC surgery done sooner rather than later!
Great to hear that your surgery went well and you are up and about. Thinking of you- hope all proceeds well.
