yea, that is one of the things that keeps him going, he said wed. night "i cant wait to get this over with cause i want to go crappie fishing" on a side note i talked to my mother earlier and she said the took him off the meds that were keeping him knocked out overnight and he was now sitting in a chair tring to communicate, since he still cant talk, but i was surprised to hear that. As the Alabama song goes "i believe there are angels among us" maybe not in the sense of "invisible people" looking over us, but more like the doctors that spend the time and money to be able to help people. I have to give a shout out to one of my dads surgeons, Doctor Keith Wilson. He is the chief of staff at Cincinnati University Medical Center, i hope that no one here ever needs his services, but he is an awesome doctor.
