Walking to the elevators and back was a lap. The doctors required that you get out of bed and move. The goal was 15 laps a day. Of course his IV pole had to go with him. He got to where he would give HER a spin, I mean give IT a spin at the elevators when he turned around. She stuck to him closer than a brother. Guy was very committed to his "Vator" laps which helped him keep up his strength and gave him a focus. Don't think the laps were easy. He had to work up to 15 over time. First he made it half way to the elevators and sat down before returning to our room. Later he made it all the way to the elevators, sat down for a rest and then returned. Then he advanced to three full laps a day and finally 15 laps a day. Make a lap and take a nap, make a lap and take a nap. You get the idea.
