The husband of US Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head in an attack in Tucson, Arizona, says she is making good progress.
Mark Kelly told US network ABC his wife had insisted on giving him a neck massage from her hospital bed.
On Sunday, hospital officials upgraded Ms Giffords' condition from "critical" to "serious" after she was successfully taken off a ventilator.
Six people died and more than a dozen were injured in the 8 January shooting.
College dropout Jared Lee Loughner, 22, is charged over the shooting which took place as Ms Giffords and was holding a constituency meeting at a Tucson supermarket.
Mr Loughner could face the death penalty if found guilty. BBC News
