As the weeks passed, Marcus gained more and more control of his new body. The doctors would now come in and see what he could do, instead of just giving instructions. And they would ask questions, mostly about how he was adjusting. Of course, Marcus couldn’t complain in the slightest. He was happy to be alive, and the body he ended up getting was like hitting the jackpot. He began to ask them when he’d be well enough to stand, or when he’d be well enough to leave the hospital. They didn’t give a firm answer, but they seemed quite pleased with how Marcus was doing.
