Getting stronger every day

Well, it has been a winding road for Larry, being in the hospital, then at Virginia Highlands, back in the hospital and back to VH, but, he is WAYYYYY stronger now than he was before this whole thing started. I am so glad that he is building up some stamina and reserve strength. When he had the procedure last week Thursday, they kept him over night because they had to take out the entire catheter and replace it, so he was laying on his back for 26 hours. He was a little shakey, but could stand and by Sunday could walk to the bathroom without a wobble. THAT! is amazing!
The poor guy was all bound up again after the procedure and on Saturday, they gave him a dose of Milk of Magnesia. That got things moving again.....alot. Poor Lar. At least his bathroom breaks are back to normal.
So, they think that he can get out later next week. I will let you know.
