Glimmers of hope...

Chris has lost his crazy morphine eyes. He got a blood transfusion and regained his freckles (too pale for them before). Then, in an unbelievable demonstration of athletic prowess (Seriously, I'm not being facetious. Imagine walking 100 ft on a knee and femur bone that were not a part of your anatomy 5 days ago.) he walked a full lap around the nurses' station. We're starting to claw our way out of the post surgery pit of despair.
