Psychologically, the entire ordeal has had a net positive effect on him. I had been his only visitor for 2 or 3 months, and he got to see his siblings when he was in ICU, plus his sister has been telephoning him daily since then. Also, I think the entire experience gave him a 'shot of reality' and has steered him in the right direction.
I also managed to convince Gregory to talk to a pastor..... so now he'll have two visitors per week.... me at the weekend and the pastor during the week.
He also wants to learn the bagpipes so I've arranged for my bagpiper friend to come in and play for him.
