Home from surgery

Mom is recovering well and she gained some fan fair at the hospital. Comment from the nurses was that she was a great patient. She is learning how to do the log roll into bed so she doesn't twist and how to sit on chairs and slide into her car. The doctor said she can be quite active and not to baby herself too much. She can walk as much as possible and can shower but not bathe. She is learning how to manuvere without bending, twisting, and lifting untill she gets a little stonger. It should't take too long and she can walk as much as she feels like doing. She can go up and down stairs. Scott installed a removeable shower head in her bath and a sitting stool bench which was suggested by the ocupational therapist and also added heith to her throne by putting a nice tall seat on top of her old one. He also got her a reading lamp to put over her bed. She is set to go and I will be with her until Thursday and Carol will come after that. She will be up and going before we know it! Jill
