PT arrived at 10:00am as she said she would! Chandler hasn't been in that great of a mood today. I think the switch from morphine to Loritab is causing her to experience a little more pain. When the PT got here, she had Chandler get up and walk. We walked out of the room and down the hall to the nurses desk and then back to our room. Stood in the hallway for a minute and Brittany (the PT) asked Chandler if she wanted to walk down another hallway. Chandler said "not really". She rated her pain at that point a 7 (on a 1-10 scale). Brittany asked her to try the walk through the other hallway and so we did. I guess we got off the hook on doing any stairs, because we came back to the room at that point. Brittany will be back to visit us this afternoon at 3:30pm for more walking and possibly the stairs. After Brittany left, I took Chandler on a wheelchair ride through the hospital and outside to the gardens to see the pretty flowers and get some fresh air. Turns out, it was kind of hot for her outside, I was hitting the bumps too hard and sometimes my questions were getting on her nerves. Looks like some things will be back to normal in no time.
Dr Oswald came by again this morning to check on Chandler and said that we could go home today or tomorrow morning! He felt like she is doing great and is ready. Andy and I decided that we'd rather her be on the Loritab for 24 hours under some watchful eyes before we go home. So far so good. Unless something significant changes, we will head out of here sometime tomorrow morning.
