I went and saw Dad today at the rehab hospital, and he is doing exponentially better.

He could sit up without almost fainting (something he did yesterday), and was cracking jokes. He is also pretty squirmy - his leg kept falling off the bed, but he is getting strong enough to put it back up. Everybody thought he was waving because he swings his right arm up and down, making it stronger.

After about a half an hour, he got tired, but during the time we were there he was coherent as he ever is. He still lets his sentences dangle, but I think that is more and more his normal state, and less of the drugs and sleep deprivation. It was so good to see that he knew who I was, and able to talk normally. These past couple of weeks he hasn't done that, and it was great to see him back to his usual self.

I also get these pictures of his arms.


His left wrist





His right wrist. I will get to work on making that prettier.





Note an editors note, but...

I can spell pretty good, but I have a mental block with physical. I get it confused with psychical, which is different. I apologize for that, so just bear with me. My editor has taken an extended leave of absence.
