It is sad but true that hospital patients often need to have advocates who will insure or even demand that proper care be given. Although Allan undoubtedly knows what a true friend you are, Patrish, he may never fully realize what a wonderful friend he has in you for having taken on this role. I hope you will allow a different Allan to tell you how deeply he admires you for this.

Try to find someone who can show you some range-of-motion exercises you can help Allan to do. In the event that he should regain some or (I hope) all of the use of the limbs on his left side, (assuming from what you have said that these currently are paralyzed,) it is extremely important that his muscles retain as much strength and tone as is possible in the interim. The stimulation can, I believe, also help the brain to renew old signal pathways to those limbs.
