Today was a very uneventful day -- exactly the kind we want. The anesthesia wore off through the course of last night, and Julie became increasingly more awake and alert today. She accomplished both of her "required" tasks for the day, the first of which was to get on her feet for two very short walks down the hall, and the second of which was to exercise her lungs with a little breathing device that helps prevent post-operative pneumonia.
Her abdomen appears to be healing well, and there are no current signs of any other complications. She's still in a fair bit of pain, but is otherwise in good spirits. We chose not to bring the kids in for a visit today (she's still attached to too many scary looking tubes and devices), but she's looking forward to seeing them tomorrow.
Many thanks to all you for all the emails, calls and responses to yesterday's post. We're able to get a laptop in front of her every now and then, and she loves hearing from everyone!

This feels like preachingto the choir master, but make sure to do your walks in the hospital.
Teach those patients there how to recoup!
