It’s been a bittersweet week at several of my doctors appointments. I learned this week that my neurosurgeon is moving on to take a job in Pittsburgh. He’s been such a big part of this story the past year it’s hard to see him go. I am so thankful for his careful hands in removing the tumor and reconstructing my back. I’m especially grateful for his conservative approach that favored longevity of life during the surgery.
In addition, my physical therapist who has helped me the past two months with continuing to retrain and strengthen muscles impacted by my nerve damage is cutting me loose. It’s good and bad news. The good news is that I’ve made great progress the last two months and have regained even more strength and nerve function. The bad news is that she doesn’t think I need her expertise anymore. I’m on my own.
Sorry the blog posts have been a little thin lately. You can be assured that if you’re not hearing from me things are going great and there’s simply nothing to report. I’m so thankful to be able to be doing all the amazing things I am this summer.
