hi erika and welcome to NT.
i'm a nurse but don't know much about aneurysms. i know it will take some time. is larry getting outpatient rehab at all?

PT can help to get the patient as far back to normal as possible.
and remember, if you don't feel comfortable with the dr giving you info you can always get a 2nd opinion. you might also consider starting a medical file for larry. it's usually free to request a copy from a dr visit. but, if you wait and request lengthy records they will charge you.

if he has mri's request a copy for yourself. if you ever go to other drs they will want to see the CD's. i don't know if you can get copies of CAT scans tho.

i hope larry will con't to improve. you've shown remarkable strength thru this.
welcome again to NT.
