DailyDDoSe: Healthcare Update November 6, 2018

I just got an AMAZING report from my neurosurgeon!! He was genuinely beyond thrilled. Said I've made an amazing recovery and I've crossed the critical threshold with my walking and that it's a testimony to my hard work & said my hands will get better but it's only been 6 months.


I could tell he was genuinely happy and my neurosurgeon was smiling the whole time. 


When he said it was a testament to my hard work I said, no, it's a testament to your amazing surgical skills. 


He also told me to slow down and not push myself so hard like I did last week. 


He thanked me profusely for the gift and I could see that he was genuinely thrilled to see my progress. He's putting in another referral for physical therapy and occupational therapy for severe myopathy for my hands. 


He said now that the spinal cord deformity has been repaired and my coordination is snapping back into place the next step is strength training but reminded me again not to push myself too hard.
