Day 7.....On my way to independance

Look at me...I can put on my own socks!
     So the Occupational therapist came in this morning to educate and assist Dad on putting on his socks and pants, he passed with flying colors. She also helped him with lying down in bed and getting out. He returned from his swallow test via gurney with the biggest GRIN!!! Good News..Good News honey (he said) the anastimosis is healing perfectly. They will be removing his 2nd chest tube this afternoon. He also was seen by the nutritionalist and physical therapist. There is NO stopping this locomotion...We are going to break all records.
I Hope he doesn't CUT me!
    I don't know how I'm going to take care of myself at home. My family has been wonderful to me...I love them so much. I could not have done it without them. I wish that I could get these nurses and Dr. to move a little faster. I want this chest tube out yesterday and where is my pain medication....come on you slow pokes....where is my ice chips. Dad is now officially on 30cc=1oz of fluids every hour. He has now had water, ice, orange Popsicle and soon apple juice. Tomorrow he will be able to have 2oz every hour.
