I visited Paul this afternoon and was very encouraged to find him quite animated in response to my blethering. He's pretty well paralysed down his right side (body and face) and can't articulate very well, but he certainly responds to conversation and is as quick on the uptake as ever. When I asked how he was, he managed to get out 'bug.....', which I was able to fill in. He agreed with my reconstruction, so his wit and humour are all there.
Robin Moore came in and remarked on the improvements he noticed in Paul. Apparently, Paul is able to walk with the aid of a support/frame for a good length of the corridor and is undergoing or about to undergo speech therapy. This is a big advance on the few steps he could manage earlier in the week.
All in all, I left in a more optimistic frame of mind than when I went in. Visitors are obviously good for his morale.
