They got dad out in the chair today, in fact he was still in the chair when I arrived and remained so until after supper.

They have left the tube in and the stomach is much reduced so fingers crossed that tomorrow they will remove and continue with physio.

They have special contraption that enables dad to pull himself up with 2 nurses steadying him to put him in and out of bed, so he gets the experience of bearing some weight on the leg/hip. This will continue tomorrow along with further exercises to build up muscles loss through laying in bed so long. Once again I thank you all for your prayers and thoughts for dad he and I very much appreciates it and know that it helps so much in his recovery.

I think he appetite is steadily improving he asked me to make a cake for him and take in tomorrow, I made a cherry and walnut one.
