I have been to see the physio today, and seen Dave's progress. He is walking with a stick now and has movement in his arm down to the elbow. It is quite probable that they will discharge him in time for Christmas and then take him back as a day patient if he can manage at home. All will depend on his progress over the next two weeks.He's getting impatient now but we've told him not to expect miracles but just take a day at a time. So expect to see him back on Mudcat soon.
