I guess all the tubes still inserted. But they are extraordinary spectacular at getting you moving, and sitting up, eating, and going to the bathroom / with assistance.

@janicepike I had something coming out of my neck. To me was like an IV but they called it something different. My sister and her husband came to visit me and I found out afterwards that she was stunned at it and asked her husband if he thought I know I had something coming out of my neck! I guess by then I had just gotten used to it so thought nothing more about it.

For the life of me,now I can't remember the proper name . It's not a picline,but .....
@janicepike
I just googled it with your term, and you are right, just the spelling is incorrect. It is a "Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter", PICC line.
Thanks. 🙂

It always amazes and inspires me to see the strength of people walking the hallways of the hospital with the various poles, tube, wires, etc.! Were you surprised at how much assistance you needed? I often hear from people that they didn't know they would get so weak so quickly.
