"After I woke up they gave me a cane and did some work with me, but I was sent back home to my district after a week. I don't use the cane anymore, because I'm more sure of myself now." He doesn't mention that after he woke up he had to gain back almost 30 pounds of muscle, but then Peeta doesn't look like he almost starved to death once upon a time anymore.
