As much as the walking around sounded great, what she is experiencing I'm sure is much more "normal" for what she has been through! They always force you to at least try to stand the day after surgery, to help prevent you from developing pneumonia. Most of the time the patients look at the nurses like "you want me to do WHAT?" I'm sure they will keep those pain meds coming, and hopefully she will get some relief and rest as well. Hang in there, Slick .... better days are ahead!
