David, you knucklehead...the docs are trying to get Angelia's gut to start working better. You talk about how bad your problems got (constipation)...maybe if you had gotten up and walked a little, it might have helped....along with other things.
Even people a day or so out of major surgery are encouraged to get out of bed and walk...for a number of reasons. Eileen's right...muscle mass and a lot of other things deteriorate when you are bedridden.
I just think David has a mild case of hypothermia of the brain tonight...it's cold here in Florida.
