Getting Up After An Operation

By Herman N Bundeten. M.D. UNTIL a few year* ago, the pa ttent who had undergone a major operation watt kept in bed until hf.« 1 incision h<al«d. often a matter of two week* or longer. Today, all thia ha.s changed in . the majority of operations because i we have discovered many advantages in getting such patients tip and about a* soon as possible: j usually on the day following op eration Known as "early ambulation,” thi» practice involves more than merely routing the patient out of bed It is a procevM which must be prepared for. assisted, and carefully supervised. Within several hours after op eration, the pattent should be turned over at least once every two hours and reminded to take deep breaths every five minutes. The legs should be exercised about 2« times in each hour This consists es having the patient extend and bend his feet and toes, knees and hips During walking, the patient Should wear shoes with heels of the same height as those ordinarily worn before operation If a woman. used to high heels, tries to walk around in flat slippers, there may be a strain on certain muscles of the legs. This may lead tn Inflammation of the deep leg veins. Getting out of bed should be done in such away as to pu* the least poasible strata on muscles in the area of the incliion After being turned on the side tn which

Hnitin ambitious and courteous in Bjthe operation of the retail estabaM ishment in this city Os reserved Bmanner, he had a gentleness about him that engendered friend ■ships. A veteran of World War 11. Mr. Gunder served overseas Bwti|> the army and then returned Mto Decatur to engage in business. Wile was young to die. This news- ■ paper extends sympathy to his Bb> leaved family and business asBsociates. ■ Tragedy struck the Orville Vi!reni<r and Reinhard llaugk T families of Monroeville and HoagViand, as the boat in which they were riding capsiled in Clear ■ Lake. Despite heroic efforts of J the fathers of the children, and J others who came to the rescue, to three of the Bremer children and 1 of the two llaugk children were drowned. It was one of the most sickening, awful accidents ever to occur on an Indiana lake. We oft. n wondr r why such ghastly tragedies should strike innocent people. o o The new Central Consolidated I School district is moving right along in its organization and a | budget for the three participating townships has been prepared. ti These townships are Washing- , ton. Monroe and Kirkland, which | have resolved to consolidate and operate schools at Kirkland and 1 in Monroe. The tax rate for 1950 a calls for 12.01 on each SIOO of i taxables. which does not sound 1 excessive in view of current rates in the individual taxing units. School consolidations and Im- « provements will continue forward. for most every community wants to meet current day demands in education, along with modern buildings and economical supervision. The death of Lewis A. "Alt” Graham removes a personage 1 who until a decade ago had been for nearly a half century, active in the business and political lite of the community. For many years he was associated with the late Judge C. L. Walters in the insurance and real estate business. He served as county chairman of the Progressive Party, when Theodore Roost- I velt headed that national ticket in 1912. H.s inti rest in politics continued and with the Republican sweep in later years he was appointed Decatur postmaster in 1927. an office he filled for ths next eight years. It was during his administration of this office that the new federal building on Liberty Way was constructed and first occupied by him as postmaster. He was an honored member of the Knights of Pythias and the First Methodist church. Hi< death brings sorrow to his home, to tyhich he was sincerely devoted and to an admiring circle of friends.

' the <>)h ration was done, the patient binds his hips and knees so that the lower leg is brought to the • dge of the mattress. Then he is assisted sidewise to a silting position When he sits up. he is into cough “everal times in order to get rid of secretions which may ' have accumulated In the lungs. The patient is allowed to walk - 2b or 30 feet and sits in a chair for the few minutes needed to straight!n the bed. After another short walk he is returned to the bed. This process Is repeated two or three times on the first day. Walking about improves the circulation in the legs and helps to prevent blood-clot formation. After the fourth day the patient is usual ly able to get out of bed without help It would appear that getting out of bed early after operation speeds up the healing of wounds and may be effective In preventing blood clot formation. Inflammation of the v< ins. and collapse of the lungs. QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS C. 8.: What causes both?

CHAPTER FORTY-THREE FANNY LAID her hand on Marvell’s arm. •’Excited?" she asked. 'They look so charming, the usher. in their white dresses.** •That girl,” said Marvell, “Just going down the aisle, is coming on to supper with us afterwards. She's parentless, temporarily." She was child size, und*>r five feet, with all the aelf- possession of an imported china dolL Fanny wrinkled her nose. “Poor Charles, to miss two pretty girls this evening." “He’s probably met twenty by now," said Marvell, not giving a thought to Charles who was on his way, student class, across the Atlantic. ’This man that’s coming,” MarveU went on in a low voice, "may be late. His car is on its last legs and he couldn't leave with me. You’ll like him, I think.” The lights blinked uncertainly. There was a ripple of agitation among the audience. Then the orchestra began a fidgety waltz. “Kit asked him to even out the party—a male for Nancy.” "Oh ?’’ Fanny tapped her fingers on the program. "Surely between them, they must know one Harvard boy.” •They are a little above that,” he said. "1 think she sold Nancy the proposition that he was a fascinating older man." It will be such fun for them to have an after-theatre supper," said Fanny, “with nothing but fascinating older men.'" She gave an amused glance at Ben’s shining bald head. Marvell turned back to the program. What a choice for these kids, he thought. The sets alone, from the drawing room to the moorland, must have taxed their ingenuity. Kit had been tremendously pleased with the wind machine they had rented. If the choice of plays was not hers, and the selection was made by a democratic majority, certainly hers was the highest enthusiasm and the leading part. He could hear her up in her room now. observing to her image in the mirror, "Portrait of a governess, disconnected, poor and plain." The program fell In his lap—- , his thoughts wandered at random. ' Ke eould not get it out of his head l..at the empty seat beside him was hi* That just before the cartain w-ent up he would watch himself slip in, with a half-cocky, halfapulogeUe exrremion, and that Pioctor. sitting where Ben sat now. aU the more formal and fautUeas la evening clothes, would look coldly at him. meaning by Uat glance to say "I see you managed to spare us the evening, uafortunately."

an Involuntary gesture of reaching for his wife’s hand. His movement attracted Fanny who bent her head and whispered, "I feel just as smug and proud as the rest of the audience!" He did not hear her nor take his eyes off the small stage, the stage that was barely large enough for Kit’s winged heels, for her clear voice that carried so well, for her talent that had grown enough to need the equal talents of other players to create a finished performance bigger than herself. Beyond that curtain lay her success or failure, not of this night only, but the whole time to come, so living a thing that he accepted it unhesitatingly. It was only In looking back that he was shaken. It was frightening to think how near to a ghost he had almost become. Had he been slipping in beside Proctor this evening, that girl on the stage who was joined almost physically to the beating of his heart under his ribs, would have been a stranger to him, allowed sight of him this one evening by her devoted uncle. Mercifully, for he could hardly bear this involuntary fantasy much longer, the lights faded and the curtain rose upon the cold and studied elegance of Mr. Rochester's drawing room. It was a difficult play at best with awkward gaps of time and no gentle “I” of Charlotte Bronte’s to cover up the incredibility of the plot But in one thing, the choice had wisdom, Marvell noted. The appeal of the story was the same at the players’. They could carry the awkwardness of emotion and conform out of their limited experience to the unworldly Imagination of the author"* The spirit of the play and players matched. At the end of the first act, the audience blinked and stretched in nervous relief. A few men edged out to smoke. Furse had not yet eome. Ben and Fanny were enthusiastic about Kit. although Ben thought Rochester kept his chin too much in his stock. “She has real spirit,” he whispered hoarsely to Marvell. ’Too much, perhaps. I think she's building up too fast for the end. It is a burden, of course, carrying a long part like that!" FannjMaughed. "Don’t be so impartial Relax and just admire as you’re bursting to do!" When Furse finally arrived. Just after the beginning of the second act, Marvell barely nodded to him. Why should he have accepted Kit's invitation? It was a busy time of year for him to take a night off, he thought unreasonably, and his c-r was too wobbly to have attempted the trip. In the last intermission. Furse steed up, awkwardly bunching up

Two Killed, 10 Hurt In Bus-Truck Crash Accident Occurred During Rainstorm Farmersburg. Ind.. Aug. 16- — (UP)— Autholties today investigated Indian s second serious motor bus accident in five days, a col-1 llsion with a truck which killed two persons and Injured 10 others. The accident occurred on U. S. 41 during a rainstorm when an I Arrow Coach lines bus rammed a truck skidding sideways in the highway. The dead were Henry C. Hill. 50. Linton, driver of the truck, and his stepson. Billy McLauchean. 16. The boy died in a Sullivan hospital hours after the crash. Injured were bus driver John 8. Selhy. 26. Princeton, and nine passengers on the coach Imund for Terre Haute from Evansville. Only Hurlie Fouse. 60. Carlisle, w-as injured seriously.

Aug. 16. — i <UP)— Authorities planned to bury |an unidentified victim of a Grey- ■ hound bus tragedy today. Coroner Robert E. Lyons said the charred body of an elderly

his light coat, to be Introduced to Fanny and Ben. He apologized to Marv< IL "The car gave trouble when I got near Belmont.” There was a greasy smear on his wrist, just below his stiff cuff, to corroborate this fact “I’ll have to clean up later,” he grinned at Marvell. But Marvell was curt and indifferent Tonight he wanted perfection, not the intrusion of petty difficulties, least of all Faroe’s. The progress of the play was uneven, at times perversely stationary, then moving forward in a single well-turned phrase or action. There was one point—Jane’s wandering on the moor before finding the refuge of St. John—when Marvell was terrified lest the whole thing die on its feet But at last, like a ship skimming into harbor, the sails slack, all hands watchful but relieved, they finished the course. The audience cheered loudly. The cast took its calls gratefully and Marvell's party burned their hands with clapping. In the bustle of disbanding ranks. Marvell was confused and strangely tired. Furse said hopefully, "My car goes now, at any rate; whom may I take over to the hotel?" Before he could speak, Marvell felt a light touch on Ms arm. It was Nancy, her snail heartshaped face enameled with sophisticated makeup. "Mr. Coomes, will you and your guests wait in the lobby for just a few minutes? Kit won’t be long; I am going to help her change.” With *eetneas she acknowledged the introductions but not without a cool survey of Marvell about whom she had heard a good dcat She had a natural curiosity about father* She had already had three, and her mother’s recent marriage in Faris had just added a fourth. The lobby where they waited was bare of photographs and announcements of coming attraction* A few cigarette stubs and crumpled programs brought them a little nearer to the reality of the professional theatre world. Fanny skillfully maneuvered Furse and Ben into some kind of conversation. Marvell stood apart, smoking. Once he had imagined Kit waiting for him in hotel lobbies and railway station* Now it was he who would wait for her in front of i drafty box office* at dingy stage door* She had come through, he . thought triumphantly. Nothing I eould deflect her now. When he saw her walk in, her white dress i heightening the color in her face. ! he eould not take a rtep forward , to welcome her, for the suddea i shyness that overwhelmed him. ■ Behind her. on tiptoe, Nancy bobbed up anc down fake a cork ! on the swell at Kit s excitement.

man remained unidentified through six days of efforts and would be interred in Rosehill cemetery this morning unless claimed in the meantime. The man was the only one of 16 persons killed In the accident last Wednesday morning whose Identity baffled authorities. A last-minute effort to Identify the body failed. Mrs. Merle Barker, Kokomo, thought It might be her father. W. R. Evans, a retired grocer. But after visiting here she said she didn't know. Lyons said items found In the burned wreckage included three keys on two chains, linked together with a copper souvenir from the 1934 Chicago World's fair: a watch with a gold case, and a box full of flashlights, clocks, pocketknives, spectacles and cigaret lighters.
