It is so hard when our therapists unexpectedly take a leave of absence. I find that time moves rather slowly.
How thoughtful and kind of you to send him a book and card. I'm sure it meant a great deal to him. And he will come back as soon as he is able. It sounds like he enjoys his job and doesn't intend to stay out any latter than he needs to.
My t had hip replacement surgery and she was out for three weeks ... but it was a planned surgery so I could mentally prepare for it (well, if that's possible). Like you, I gave my t a box full of fun at our last appointment. She sent me the kindest thank you note that helped me through until I saw her. A genuine reply is heartfelt.
When my t came back to work she was using a cane. It was so odd to see her helpless (even though she wasn't --- but you get my point). It was scary in a way. It's been over 2 months but she still doesn't have the pep in her step like she used to. It's a long recovery.
I hope time moves quickly for you.
