Mum has now moved to the "fast track" physio ward. This means she will get more exercise than she was wont to do. They say that anything she could do before the op she should still be capable of after. However it must be said she was not noted for the amount of exercise she took before. Maybe she will end up fitter after than before!
As an aside: one good feature of Frimley Park Hospital is that she has a direct phone line to her bed-side so I can keep in touch on my travels. The down side is that every time she changes ward (this is her sixth) she gets allocated a new number and I have to keep re-programming my phone.
