It is very reasonable for the patient to be bummed out at this stage. It hurts so bad all the time you just get worn out. I think all you can expect is to just suffer through the recovery phase so physically he is not in pain and getting his weight back and such.
At that point try to get him more help for his mental issues.
I think right now you have your hands full just getting through all the physical issues.
Good luck
