Day 57 - Same old

Not much to report today. Dan is doing well. No new issues have come up. We think his back graft will need to be redone, but maybe not all of it so we'e waiting for the surgeons on a decision - that could be a day or so before we know the next steps and if surgery is required (likely).

He's eaten well so far today. We spaced the time between his breakfast and lunch because he got his wound care today in his room around 11am. That gave us a break while we grabbed a bite. When we were able to return to Daniel's room we waited a bit longer for his lunch to arrive and he started eating and ate pretty well.

We took a short break and went on a 2nd walk - longer than the first by double. By the end he appeared to be pretty fatigued so we came back to the room and sat in a chair while he relaxed. We did a puzzle, ate some net-thins and then headed back to bed to rest his legs. They had become very red where his grafts are from sitting upright. They looked really painful!

This evening we will take another walk, eat a light dinner and get ready to do it all over again tomorrow.
