OK, time to get up and do some physical therapy.
I set another record today...walked more than half a mile and was not out of breath, amazed myself. Just another milestone I need to reach to get out of here, shouldn't be long before I get the discharge orders. It's still hard to believe that this time, last week, I could barely stand long enough to take a shower, and had to rest 2-3 hours afterwards due to the exertion. My what a difference a new pair of lungs can make.
BM...oh yea, baby!
