I sure hope so, too. The accent may have been "identification with the aggressor"

At least his sense of humor is intact so hopefully he will be able to work through any residual issues from his confinement.

Psychological help is important as well as addressing his physical issues. I remember his parents saying that initially he walked as if he'd been shackled.
