I was more encouraged with Dad's progress tonight than I have been since his surgery. He looked good (other than the fact he's still in a hospital bed). He was awake, alert and his speech was more normal than I've heard in a long time. He was able to describe his physical therapy session today and we discussed what he needs to do to get out of rehab and back home. He said at first he was angry with Mom for putting him in that place, but now he realizes why she had to. He realizes he has to work hard so he can go home. He was a lot more positive tonight than he has been in a long time.
