True. But it all balls down to the patient capacity or strength at that point in time.

Its understandable that the patient needs to try their best to help or cooperate with the nurses and doctors for a safe and faster recovery. But not everyone has the same body system, some cannot control the reflex actions the body exhibition. While some can.

Hmm, that's why its important to have someone next to you. To help you.

Lovely post.
