Monday evening (5/23)
Didn't see Dad this weekend, but he said he was doing well. He and his girlfriend went down to New Hope, PA and shopped for a while, and evidently she told him, "STOP walking like an old man!" This shocked him into realizing he was dragging ass for no reason.
So now he's in a much better frame of mind. He said he had a great time today, taking care of work on the phone. Tomorrow, he's seeing his doctor again. He's hoping for clearance to start driving (as I may've mentioned, the big worry is that, if Dad's in a car accident, the airbag explosion would blow out the sutures and such that were left after surgery).
I went over tonight, where Dad told me all this. Then I got him up on the treadmill for 25 minutes, a new record. He'll likely be too tired tomorrow, but I'll get him to 30 minutes in the next few days.
Finishing up his 25 minutes, he said to me, "I've walked more in the last two weeks than I did in the past 10 years." I told him that it wasn't gonna let up, and that he needs to make this a practice once he's back at full power. He grunted.
