Ok, just got back from spending some time with Surcher. TexasGator's update is just about the same as I have to report, however there are just a few more things to add.
He is doing remarkably better!!
While I was there they performed one test on him, and the results are that he can eat regular food!! For someone who has not had anything resembling real food in quite a while this is great news. I offered to run to the nearest steakhouse for a Rib-eye and baked potato, but he was hesitant about going too far too fast. He did mention that a slice of vegetarian pizza sounded pretty good in the near future.
He is able to talk normally now, and is very alert.
His cell phone is charging, and turned off. If you have that number, he will be checking messages later this evening.
We laughed about the avatar thing, and he can't wait to get his laptop delivered to him and get on here and see this thread among others. Expect that in the next day or so.
If you visited him in the previous hospital, he probably does not remember it.
Another good thing, forget what I said about the cards and letters previously, they have been kept and he will be getting them in the next day or so also.
I printed out the photos from the "Boobs for Surcher" thread and was able to get a few minutes with just us in the room to show him. Those he enjoyed!! TDLs boobs got a well deserved laugh from him. Some he recognized immediately, some he recognized after a minute or so, but he appreciated all of them!! Well, not real sure about the furry ones, but at least he saw them and it did not cause any issues with his heart rate
Unfortunately I was not able to leave the pictures with him, so he is expecting the real ones to visit soon. Yes, there was a couple of "Wow, she posted those?" He did notice the exceptions to normal posting practices by some, and that left a strong impression.
If you know him and want to visit, he wants to see you. Contact either TexasGator or myself and we will get you the details. (Give us a little time as I have not talked to TG in a few hours, and want to make sure he is comfortable with that) As far as the ladies head on over he is very anxious to see some of his girl friends.
Yeah, he is feeling a lot better, so ladies don't keep your distance
.
It looks like big battle has been won, just finishing up on some of the little skirmishes out there.
Hopefully I will be able to see him this weekend again, and will post any news from that visit also.
