Hello all,
I just wanted to give you a very brief and I mean very brief update on my progress. The paralysis on my right side is almost complete disappeared. Unfortunately, I have a lot of muscle to repair and train again. My left side has finally to everybody's amazement started to respond.
Hello all,
I just wanted to give you a very brief and I mean very brief update on my progress. The paralysis on my right side is almost complete disappeared. Unfortunately, I have a lot of muscle to repair and train again. My left side has finally to everybody's amazement started to respond.
Frankly, we all expected me to come out of Rehab with not much hope of left side recovery, but what was seen in the last two To three weeks has given us a tremendous amount of optimism for some decent level of left side response and return to useful status. So when I walked to the great unknown with a lot of confidence in my rehab team and hope that my nerve pathways continue to look for alternative routing.
as far as a "Mass" in the neckwe really don't have any idea of what it is and currently what it's doing. We have an MRI did for at least three months as I am remaining stable or improving in that area. Depending on how you interpret the results to date. The plans are to have updated MRIs done within the next three weeks and have a meeting with the clinical oncologists. Shortly thereafter to review what's going on. Because of the high dosage steroids and other meds I'm on and the fact that I'm going through active rehab with what appears to be stable, Mass. we frankly don't intend to do a thing for a while.
Due insurance restrictions. I've moved to a smaller, but Okay Rehab facility But I was fortunate to be able to "select" two great specialiststo ensure I get the most for the time limitations and equipment shortness.
I'm trying to gather all the experiences to post in the blog and will try to have an update by the end of the week.
and most important of all, thank you all who have sent e-mails, cards, phone calls prayers and just plain kindness. It is held so much get through this time.
