I'm rather proud of Bodie's lengthy nickname. Affectionately teasing, I hope. I can imagine his using it, perhaps to sneer just a little at those who named him.

Someone who won't talk, or worse, someone who can't talk [especially in the event of a loss of the ability.] That caregiver role can be a bit of a burden then, but all the more needed.

I'm looking forward to the drugs wearing off too. This is turning into a marathon. Thanks for sticking with me.
