Friday was a day of firsts for Dave. His first walk down the hall. His first peek at himself in a mirror. His first shave by himself. The things we take for granted.
Bob Richards came by at 11 and they had an educational discussion on the Canadian Election Process. Seems to be no sign of long term memory loss at all! Dave's voice is finally sounding more and more like himself. Bob Beggs, representing the Wednesday blitz 4some, came by and remarked how good Dave looked and how he'd be golfing in no time! Friday evening Dave was exhausted and confused - which I am led to believe is normal. We had a nice chat about the King of England.
Saturday was a sleep day. Had a chance to talk to the Doctor and ask a lot of questions. The vision does not seem to be impaired at all. Good improvement. Both the blood on the brain and the water on the brain will resolve itself (hopefully) and be re-absorbed into the body.
The Chitty's came by the hotel after the Citadel game and whisked me away to Athens Restaurant before my 9 o'clock visit. What a wonderful break not to mention the best Greek Salad I've ever had!
Dave is very anxious to get out of ICU. We may be on the floor by Monday!
Sincere Thanks to every single person for your thoughts and prayers.

It sounds like Dave is making great progress. I'll be sending him something to keep him occupied instead of watching that clock in ICU! You're also doing great on the blog, Marie! Talk to you tomorrow. Hugs, Debbie
Hi Aunt Marie,
