Mark says doctors managed to extract a lot of fluid from his lungs.


"The nurses got him mobile, got him up walking for about 20, 30 paces, which is excellent four days after a serious heart attack. So all things looking from a positive frame, but he's still a very sick man. He needs to get some physio done around the chest area, and needs to get the breathing exercises going as well," he said.
