OYAT

Mark has done some walking with a cane but he can also walk with his therapists on either side for balance, with no cane or walker. He's able to get in and out of bed and chairs very well. He can also put on his socks, shoes (tie them too) and shirt. Eating is certainly not a problem! Even though he seems to see small items fine, like a drop of water on his tray table (which he will wipe up) and can read most letters and his cards, and the clock, he complains about his vision all the time. He is being scheduled to see an neuro-ophthologist soon. His short term memory is sometimes still challenged and he even has some long term memory issues, especially when he's tired.

Rico says it's amazing how much and how little has changed in a year; walking is fine now (most of the time), eating is certainly not a problem (though the weight gain is; it's been easier to put it on than to take it off), but the doubled vision is still a problem (though we're hoping an acupuncturist has some luck this Sunday), and the short-term memory still fails periodically.
