Ted's Excellent Adventure

As some of you might know, my cousin was involved in a hit and run in Brooklyn three weeks ago.  His injuries were extensive--a partially broken back, tremendous road burn, et al--and he's gone through some fairly extensive surgeries to begin the process of physical reparation. 

Last week he was transferred from NYU Neurological ICU to a rehabilitation center across the street.  I went to visit him this afternoon.  The visit coincided with the first time he's gone outside since the accident, and the weather couldn't have been more accommodating.  Miraculously his resolve has allowed him to begin to slowly take steps again and ask for Strohs beers with his solids. 

In all seriousness, it was refreshing to know that he's accelerated in his path to recovery.
