Hi all, I'm doing very well 4 days post surgery but still in the hospital because my chest drainage has not stopped. I have almost no pain and I walk over a mile a day around the hospital as fast as one can walk in skid proof sox.

Sounds like you are doing great Patty! You will be getting home soon!!
