First walk
With the help of the physiotherapist and the wonderful nurses at the overnight recovery unit, Michelle went for a short walk this morning. She has since moved up to the Jane Ashley ward, where she'll be for the rest of her time in hospital.
I'll describe what the surgeon told us in a later post, but the surgery was longer than expected, so Michelle will probably be in the hospital for a full week to recover. She may want visitors next week - we'll keep you posted.

How many steps, Michelle? Good to see you up and walking. Sending love and positive thoughts your way. Rosa
Thank you for posting, Bruce! It is great to see Michelle post-op. I love the gown, shoes, and accessories. You are ready for the red carpet! Hugs, love, Satie
Bravo Michelle! You are on your way. Wear out those "chic" slippers in the hallways between some healing naps. It really, really helps. You are looking just like a Warrior. Love Patty
It is fabulous to see you standing and smiling Michelle. I'm going to take it as a good omen that you are recuperating in ward that bears my name. I'm there with you in spirit :)
Being up - even holding on to an IV pole - is a great thing. Great to see you walking! Gordon
Glad to hear the surgery went well and you are up and about already...you look great especially with that big smile on your face!! Thanks for the updates!
Thanks so much for posting Bruce. I have been thinking about you both and sending love and hugs your way. So glad to see Michelle is up and about and on the path to healing.
You are looking great post surgery. They do get you on your feet right away! Hoping you have more good news for us as the days go by! Kathy
