First, Joshua describes some of the procedure to clue everyone in behind the scenes. "Hey, y'all, I'm out of surgery. I'm up out of bed, sitting in a chair for the first time," Walker says. "They poked five holes in my ribs, deflated my lung, sewed it back together, reinflated it, and they are going to be taking a drainage tube out of it later today. I'm going to be coming home a day early because I'm healing up so fast."
Lastly, Joshua expresses some of the pain he's battling after the surgery. Still, he remains optimistic and lays out the next steps in his journey. "I'm in a good amount of pain. Breathing hurts, coughing hurts. But I'm here, I'm awake, I'm alive, I made it through the surgery," Walker emphasizes. "Now, we wait for the results to determine what the treatment plan is going to look like moving forward. But I just wanted to get on here and let y'all know that I'm doing alright. The surgery went well, and I'm being taken care of. We will talk soon. Thank y'all for your love and support, and I'll talk to you later."
