Exactky. And when I mentioned the meeting with the chapter masters, I didn't intent for the Emperor to be a veggie and just use his mind to speak. It was to show how much he had recovered. Thus, he would only need servents to carry his messages to the outside world while he healed. He's more like a dude hooked up to life support waiting to get out once he's in the clear.
