How long did it take Glass to heal?


How much time had passed from the bear attack to the final confrontation with Fitzgerald? I wasn't sure if it was days,weeks or months? There was never really any reference to how much time had passed.

I figured weeks, the movie made it seem like days though

The movie suspends time. I think it's Iñárritu's intention is to cause the audience to sense reality as Glass must be. He is very seriously injured, has constant severe pain, infections, fever, is hallucinating. Time and reality are sensed differently for him. Iñárritu wants us to experience what Glass is experiencing.

My sense of the amount of time that passes is that it's a few weeks.
