Frank is invariably a grouchy wet blanket in contrast to the joy of the other patients (and staff) at the hospital, and points out quite correctly that he has little to be grateful for despite being temporarily restored to near-normalcy. He's lost several decades of his life, his family and friends are gone, and he has nothing much left to live for.
