Here is the awesome thing. Regardless of his pain levels, they have consistently managed to forget that they established that he is MISSING A CHUNK OF THIGH MUSCLE. They excised MUSCLE.

In no pain whatsoever, emotional or physical, he still is not fucking physically stable. The fact that he collapses after a few steps unassisted is not because he is in so much ~~pain~~ but because his leg is physically incapable of carrying him stably.

This is what drives me nuts. I mean, even putting aside the massive chronic pain and painkiller issues, it STILL MAKES NO SENSE.

Sigh.
