It's been a while since we've had a forum update on zakalwe (regarding this thread (http://forums.multiplay.co.uk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29341)) so I thought I'd post a quick message to keep you informed.
Essentially he's doing all right. He started talked a few weeks back and has been gradually improving. His leg which was damaged in the accident is now all but healed and he's walking about (although a little wobbly).
The great news is that for the first time since mid December he has been home! The quacks let him go for a weekend and he stayed at his parents house. He said he didn't want to go back to the hospital but I think he's playing hard to get with the nurses. It looks like he's going to be moved to a different hospital closer to home for the rest of his rehab which'll be a great for his parents.
It also appears that his memory is getting better. He says that the last he remembers is now July '04 up to about 6 weeks ago and when tested he seems to be right. The 2004 basel trip was at the end of July, so I'll make sure I remind him of his naked table dancing in the bond bar when I next see him.
Finally, his understanding is much better now. Although it's sometimes hard to ascertain, he understands everything that's said to him now. He does still have a problem finding words to use however but is getting better at describing the word now that his vocab has improved. He may yet call you a banana, or call you animal instead of your name, but we've all been known to do that... /me looks at banana.
When the opportunity presents itself I'll suggest that he get his ass online so that he can get his rehab MPUK style.
Really lastly honestly: I know it's been on everyone's minds so I'll clear it up for you. Yes, he's still a big fat whale.
