After the astronauts land, what do they do to get re-accustomed to gravity, and what medical check-ups do they go through? It must be easier for the astronauts who are only up in space for a couple weeks, than for someone who was at the space station, and up in space for 5 months.
With this landing (STS 120 -- 11/07/07), two astronauts did not walk around the shuttle. One of them was only up for 2 weeks, and the other was up in space for 5 months. Do they have to do something special for the people who were in anti-gravity for 5 months?

Hi. John Glenn walked around the shuttle for a post landing look after his stay. The longer you are under micro gravity the longer it takes to readjust your body.
