Lots of improvement

So back in NC and had a good day with Craig, he looks almost like his former self, I'll try to summarize his status as best I can:

Pros:

1. Can move around in a wheelchair and we went outside at the hospital for lunch. He is eating almost anything now and he needs fattening up like a Thanksgiving Turkey. 

2. Kidney function slowing improving, there is hope he may recover from that. Still going for dialysis three times per week.

3. Wound is healing well.

4.  Brain is back to normal and he is looking forward to going back to work, getting fitted for a prosthesis...etc. He can talk about his situation with "ease" and is actively involved in his treatment.

5. Discussing the next phase of treatment...rehab centre.

Cons

1. Phantom pain is frequent and hard

2. Leg and foot are very swollen but hopefully soon that will go away

3. Still looking at a very long time before a prothesis can even be considered as the wound has to be completely healed...months perhaps.

4. Craig gets agitated and angry at times but it doesn't last for long and he cracks a joke again. Of course that is to be expected as well.

That's all for now....talk to you soon!
