TKR Dad refusing to stand after discharged using walker

They are doing him much more harm than good. He needs to become independent!
 
Hi all, he making progress, but, still not as active as he should be. Instead of getting up and going to the bathroom during the day, he is using the urinal, my stepmom told me today.

She told me that she told him that's not going to happen again, the urinal is for use at night, not during the day. He needs to be getting up and going to the bathroom.

She also had him outside walking in the breezeway of their condo.

So, he just has to re-condition himself to move and not take the lazy, easy way out.
 
I have to tell you for the first week I rarely got up, I dont care what your taking it hurts like a son of a complain, I peed in a pee cup. If its your first knee it feels like you may break it. Give him some time, it wont hurt anything, Im just over 3 weeks and yesterday mowed my front yard with a walk behind. Window of opportunity is a myth.
