15. I worry more about

panic attacks. She had two real bad ones after they did her liver embolism and stent install. Hopefully, the docs prescribe a smoother to keep her from over thinking this.

She should be discharged today. In fact as I type this the docs are probably making their rounds prior to surgery and will give her the boot.

the 30 -60 seconds per hour makes sense. if you add up the time it's like 8 minutes of walking every 8 hours on the long side. Even if it's 4 minutes it allows for movement of muscles.
