More firsts...

Kay had her first physical therapy session and her first bout with the Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) machine but low blood pressure has kept her bed-bound so far.

The leg exerciser, CPM, will be a twice a day treat during her hospital stay. This morning's setting was 55 degrees -- 130 is full -- and 75 degrees tonight. Tomorrow morning 90 degrees. We also hope she'll be standing tomorrow.

Hang in there KB.

You are looking about as chipper as a person with a new knee and a CPM machine could possibly be.
