Gary seemed downright chipper at 2:30. The physical therapist had come for the first time, earlier; he said she was nice and they talked about family stuff, etc. His exercise was to look at his feet and legs while she exercised them. He said his legs felt like blobs, and that when he touches them, it’s like feeling someone else’s body. She got a baseline evaluation for him, and told him the hard part was to come. He seemed happy to have this concrete sign of progress in his recovery.
