Movin' On Up

We were just told by Dad's nurse that he will be moving up to the transplant unit after they come back from lunch. Several of IV lines have been removed as well. Fewer and fewer tubes and lines coming from his bed.

He shaved himself this morning and combed his own hair. He looks fairly presentable now -but not good enough for him to let me take his picture.

I've heard a few small wise cracks from him but still not too much joking going on. He sat up in the chair for well over two hours this morning and stood for awhile while they were getting him back to bed. He says he is feeling stronger. The doctor took the pain pump away and put him on pain pills. She said that they last longer. He was pretty uncomfortable this morning but the pills kick in fairly quickly.
