Julie update 1

Yesterday, Julie got out of bed twice and walked down the hall, at a 10 feet per minute pace. Today, still no eating or drinking except for some water. Her wound dressing and bladder catheter were removed this morning. She still has her staples and a drain and the subcutaneous catheters which slowly drip local anesthetic to her wound. They want her out of bed and walking a little at least four times today. When she sleeps she doesn't use her pain medication and she wakes up miserable. She is using a lot of pain medication but she hasn't been nauseous since yesterday afternoon. All things considered she is doing well and making progress.
