28 Sept (2)

Spoke to mom - he's very agitated and thrashing his good arm and leg all over the place - even kicked the old lady one shot ! They removed the wire from his arm - it was a temporary repair - I think they just put a piece of bloudraad in for the time being - nurses say he is just withdrawing from the morphine and needs to go through it - being a smoker (hopefully an ex smoker after all this) apparently makes it worse (is anyone listening ?)- maybe he just wants to get to the re-union next weekend and the buggers wont let him go...he is still on the respirator but they are reducing oxygen levels and he is starting to breathe more and more by himself. Sounds like business as usual and all on track from a clinical point of view but all quite troubling for mom.
Will be going down either tomorrow or monday to see for myself.
