So the Gale news is always two steps forward and one step back. Not Gale's condition, which has probably been flat, or slow steady improvement over time, but the news that we get.
Gale is continuing to progress but the anticipated time of healing may take a bit longer than initially hoped for. He will be released from the hospital on Friday and will have friends and family staying with him for at least a month to aid in his rehabilitation. His medical team, friends and family will work on the cognitive therapy to help rebuild his memory. He’s walking well, and healing nicely and anxious to return to his home. His shoulder will take 6-8 weeks to return to full function. His parents will remain through this week.
This sounds very, very realistic to me. Boyfriend spent 10-11 days in ICU. Still seems iffy whether or not they'll be able to keep him on Desperate Housewives, but we haven't heard anything one way or the other about that since the day after the accident. They would like to keep him, and the show goes on a filming break next month, so they might be able to work around him until then. He's healthy and I'm sure he's a very motivated patient, so perhaps that will be enough time for him to be able to return to work. I'm keeping the fingers crossed, that's for sure.
