He's talking more

Rick was pretty restless last night, but at least he didn't excape again. Yesterday, he broke through his bed arm restraints like "The Incredible Hulk". After that, his nurse Austin, had to double tie his arms and tie his legs so he couldn't get up.
 He was moved to another room where he could be observed more easily. They have to be careful that he doesn't fall and hit his head again, or we will be at square one again.


Anyway, just talked to Mary and he's incoherently rambling about all kinds if things. You know kind of like when you are dreaming and all of the events of your life are their and you jump from one to another?

He's asking Brian to "break him outta there", and "Come on, we have to make our picks".
He's mentioned, Dale, Andy, Lumpy, Donna among others.
Rick asked his dad, Mel, to "give me that window!"
"Hit a home run, Tony!"

Today he passed the swallow test (I'm not sure HE would be happy about that one!:) But it's a good sign because it means he can try to eat food that's not out of a tube.
Mary is going to order him some Strawberry ice cream and has asked his mom, Cele, to bring him his favorite banana cream pie when she comes to visit. That oughta jar his memory and bring Rick back to us.
I'll keep updating as often as I can.

  2. He's too stubborn to not make a full recovery.
