Hello blogophiles. More improvement has occurred. S is remembering events and people which entered his life since the fall on a regular basis now, rather than sporadically. He remembered a young lady with whom he had spent some time in the 2 weeks prior to the fall, whereas 2 weeks ago he didn't know who she was. He is laughing some and engaging in some wordplay with the speech therapist. The head of the therapy department, Dr. House (really) said that S will probably leave the hospital in 2-4 weeks. The knitting together of the bones in the right wrist may influence this vague timetable. The hand specialist wants to put a plate in the wrist before he leaves, but he also wants to wait as long as possible; so this, like everything else, is up inthe air.
