| Topic | people who had surgery, how long did it take to get your stamina back? |

I was stuck in the hospital for a week and couldn't even wipe my own butt after using the bathroom (which I only did twice in a week, that's how bad off I was). They tried to get me to walk around, trailing all kinds of tubes and wires, but couldn't make it more than a few feet outside my room. I think it was the chest tubes that were causing most of my problems. But once they took the chest tubes out, I was up and about almost back to normal within minutes. I walked completely around the hospital ward, took a shower, and dressed myself. They sent me home with instructions to rest and not to lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk for a month. That evening I was outside picking up a full-grown pygmy goat (about 40-50 pounds) and carrying her about 40 or 50 yards. --- Minutus cantorum, minutus balorum, Minutus carborata descendum pantorum. ...
