3:54 am
live alone because cooking remains a challenge and he needs help managing his medications and his wounds which are still healing. joseph concedes there are parts of his brain that will likely never recover but what dillen's case suggestests is that for some people being in a vegetative state may not be as persistent as it was once thought. >> the evidence is for somebody with a disorder of consciousness, it's not considered permanent until a year and now we know that the small percent age, maybe 15% wil actually recover after one year. >> reporter: his amazing journey has surprised everyone. friends, family and dr. s. the only person not surprised by it all is dillen rizzo himself. you sort of knew you were going
