Richard and Kim Donohue in the hospital.
Transit Police have posted an update from Officer Richard Donohue, injured in the Watertown firefight, that updates us on his condition, expresses his sadness over the loss of his friend and MIT officer Sean Collier and thanks all the cops, firefighters, doctors and nurses who helped save his life.
I am able to walk briefly through the use of a walker. My pain varies day to day and I still have a long road of rehab and recovery ahead, but I am optimistic I'll recover back to 100%. The bullet will remain in my leg as it is not obstructing anything or causing any pain. However my wife has informed me that the bullet will ultimately cause her the most pain, as I will be using it to get out of things such as mowing the lawn, doing laundry, and painting the deck.

That's a phenomenal response
"Pain to my wife." Hahahahaha. See that, Tsarnaev, you piece of crap? He still has his sense of humor, and now you're in jail. Good bid.
HA!
I like his sense of humor! And he's looking pretty darn good for someone who almost died.
Nice to see him wearing the MIT shirt
Get well soon, Officer Donahue!
