Well today was a repeat of yesterday. Jim was alert and talking. He was off the vent the entire day. They were going to put him back on tonight to make sure he gets the rest he needs but tomorrow they may start a try at the 24 hours. It's a little scary but he looks really good. We did have some rough moments today. He wanted out of bed. Now this is a man that has not been out of been (except when they lift him out) in 5 months. He actually was able to get himself sitting straight up but then his neck would not cooperate and it hurt him.
He told nurse Mary last night that he felt like he had woken up from the dead. He has lost the past month. Everything from his last stay at Sarasota Memorial is basically a blur. Before that he remembers. So we will work with what we have.
Today we watched two movies and he was awake the whole time. This is a first for quite a while. Normally he doses off and on. I'll take it.
Looking forward to tomorrow . . . what Jim will I have.
