We start this week's headlines with Nick Ekbatani getting better and tweeting from the hospital.

Finished first day of therapy at my official Paralympics 2016 training facility! Bringing home gold in four years baby! #dowork #bruWINNING!

He definitely has the right frame of mind. Even a bit of humor:

Always enjoyed a good game of hopscotch. If I don't grow a new one...I'll just make it rain on one! #nobigde instagr.am/p/NjDESryrGO/

Acceptance.

Is it bad that I'm more mad about my motorcycle being totaled than I am about losing my leg? (just kidding...but somewhat for real)

Johnathan Franklin of course had kind remarks:

@nickekbatani God Bless You! You've inspired me to stay strong through my hard times and circumstances. Keep shining bro

The hospital is starting to get annoyed by the non-stop visitors.

Only @nickekbatani would have so many visitors at the hospital that they'd finally stop and say enough. Only Nick.

I guess as long as he's comfortable while he's playing? After you're doing playing, try out some of the local delicacies if they have time.
