More Progress and Daddy Steps

Belated update from Heather describing Sunday:

Good things again today!  Dad's appetite continues to be good, he ate an entire egg salad sandwich for lunch.  We are working on staying awake when the sun is shining, circadian rhythm gets messed up when you are in surgery for as long as he was. 
Physical therapy was late today and went extremely well.  Dad was able to sit on the side of the bed, stand up, take a few steps and transfer to a chair where he will sit for a couple of hours.  The therapists were blown away at his progress in just a few days.  He also did several sets of exercises like a champ!  He says his pain level is low.  

Alan visited and volunteered to give Dad an amazing shave!  Mom is taking a picture of the two of them right now and Dad said "here let me stand up" - that's not allowed right now but we are thrilled that he wants to!
