If I was asked to give a headline to the day, it would be, "He is back in game"!
He is well and truly back in his orientation. Usually I would have said that if he begins to bully Mummy, it would be the clearest possible sign that things are normal. In this case I will not apply that yardstick; he isn't bullying her, but is back to cracking all the jokes.
He walked twice today. The effort is still clearly massive for him. Often, he needs a break after a few steps. But the progress is unmistakable and it is all in the right direction.
It would appear to me that today is our penultimate day in the hospital. Tomorrow evening we should be home. Indeed, today I discussed the matter with him and he was happy to hear that.
A great deal of effort went into making him walk - most of it his. The other big supportive 'push' came from Sunil who gave the impetus to move him over the initial mental hump. Today, Anju and Sunil returned to Delhi, as did Pallavi and Abhishek.
More tomorrow....
