my deepest condolences for your loss Dave.
Dave S, 30 years+ is your life dedication to the person you've always loved. Amazing!
May Gayle RIP
Dave, condolences on the loss of your Gayle. That will leave a gaping chasm in your life.
Respect. A LOT of Respect.
I've known friends and family having to support mates with MS. It's a tough row to hoe.
Sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss Dave and you are the human being we should all strive to be.
I really appreciate the kind thoughts, but I feel bad that I have hijacked VLJs thread.
I am looking forward to further progress reports V!
Other than anecdotal stories, I won't have anything new to report until April 15th, which is when I have my next appointment with the neurosurgeon. Until then, it's just mundane crap like my lower-left back is absolutely hot knives painful now, likely as a result of favoring my damaged right side. I've ditched the walker and am now using a cane, and sometimes I ditch the cane too, but when I ditch the cane I'm still only able to do a side-to-side hobble, which is probably a leading contributor to this new pain in my back.
Oh, and this morning on my little walking trail some toddler-aged girl who was out with her mom pointed at my swollen, nasty-looking foot and lower leg and started bawling her head off. The mom offered me a look of furtive embarrassment and quickly moved her daughter along.
Yep, this is just awesome.
