"Then tell the nurses you want out of bed!"
Kim, when my Dad was in the hospital, it was nearly impossible to get the nurses to get him and get him walking. They were just to busy, running from room to room and doing all the grunt work and paper work for the Drs.

Anytime Andy has a visitor, the visitors need to make him go down the hallway and back at least once. We finally had to post this on Dad's door on fun colored paper. People started taking it seriously and he got a good bit of walking that way.
