Daryl's tpn bag gets changed every night. This means that they have to unhook the old one. The process takes about 2 minutes, so while she isn't attached to any thing, we asked if we could take her for a walk. The first time this happened we didn't even leave the room, but i gotta tell ya, 15 feet is a long way when you've never been more than 18 inches away from your bed for two and a half months! Last night the nurses let us walk out of the room and down the hall. Poor Daryl probably thought she was going for another surgery, since that is the only other times she has left her bed. We really enjoyed our road trip, and someday, we will get out of the friggin building!
