When we left yesterday, I was feeling pretty bummed that they hadn't gotten Dad up and out of bed at all. But at 10PM when we called for an update, Karen, his nurse, said very nonchalantly that they had walked down the hall and back. I was totally floored and had to ask for clarification because the distance that I understood at first seemed totally unrealistic. However, sure enough he walked to the main entrance of the ward and back; about a 200-foot walk. That's totally cool!!
Right now he is off the blood pressure medication and off the pacer and his pressure is still nice and high. If today is a good day, they are hoping that there will be a bed available on a regular ward for him to move to. Fingers crossed, as beds on a regular ward are hard to come by on a Sunday.
