May 2002

I just returned from a trip out to Iowa to see my doctor. My Syrinx is almost completely gone! I am beyond excited about that. Finally a step in the right direction. However, I am still suffering from a ton of symptoms but my doctor feels this is the result of all my surgeries even the blood pressure issues! I still have a way to go in recovery. I am no longer in Occupational Therapy - basically I reached my limit and there was nothing else that could be done. Now I do my own therapy at home. I am continuing to feel positive about a good recovery.
