sacks was then moved to a convalescent home in highgate, london, england referred to at the time as caen wood. there, sacks met a group of fellow patients and veterans who offered him solace by sharing their own stories about the war and how they deal with their phantom limb syndrome (the ironic opposite of sacks' ordeal). sacks found that this group of men had been more wise and understanding than any doctor that had treated him. upon permanent removal of his cast, sacks found his leg remained numb to the touch despite his progress with recovery. it had been determined that the lack of sensitivity was due to a severance in the femoral nerve that had occurred during his operation, thereby, inhibiting any nerve activity and causing sacks to feel disconnected from the leg (it was only four years later that sacks was put through nerve conduction tests to better understand the severity of the nerve damage). oliver sacks then graduated from the convalescence home and found himself in the office of mr. w.r. of harley street. mr. w.r. asked sacks what he enjoyed doing most before the incident. when sacks responded with swimming, mr. w.r. called up a lifeguard and sent sacks on his way to a local pool. upon arriving, the lifeguard pushed sacks into the pool (on mr. w.r.'s directions) despite his protests. feeling outraged and challenged, sacks began to swim without any regard to disability until the lifeguard told him he was finished. without any thought, sacks got out of the pool and began to walk around normally despite the notion that his left leg was still limp. sacks was left astonished by mr. w.r.'s simple and effective solution to being incapable of physical activity: ""condelectari sibi"."
