I would appreciate no more comments from you. However- I will respond one last time to you!

I have thought of decubitus, I have thought of a lot of things. He is doing great in rehab and already doing some ADLs like dressing himself,feeding himself, learning how to get up when he falls over because he doesn't have "trunk" control, he can self cath himself too. Well--why not get him back to as much of a normal life as can be? He can transfer into a wheelchair, and drive a golf cart and here go anywhere. Meet the public- go to the square listen to music, go to the bank, movies, etc. So, I am trying to think of as much as possible.
