Hey. Well I finally have some good news to share. Last week I went in for another spinal tap and the pressure was at 20 mm of water right were its supposed to be. My vision isn't back to perfect yet but Its definitely improving. I can even read the screen today without closing my one eye. The neurologist wants me to continue take the medication for another month and then hopefully after that things should be all back to normal. I still haven't heard back from the spinal surgeon yet on the results of my ct scan. He was supposed to call me last Wednesday but didn't. I have left several messages and talked to his secretary twice, but still no word. Thats a bit frustrating but I suppose that know news is hopefully good news. Physio is going fine. My left quad s continuing to see improvements while my hip and foot are still not getting in on the action. Things are still pretty sore, and it would be really nice to know if the CT scan showed any evidence of the cause. but I guess I have to leave some angry messages this week. I have also been have some new pain near the middle of my back. I sat kinda funny for a few minutes and then when I stood up I was extremely painful to straighten my back out. It has eased up some but is still a bit of an issue. I'll have to have my physiotherapist take a look at it if it continues. And I guess that would be most of my news. Next weekend my parents are going down to watch my sisters senior recital. I had been hoping hoping to go but a ten hour car ride wouldn't agree with me quite yet. So Pat Mcdonald is going to be staying with me for the weekend. Should be fun. hmmm Thats all I can think of right now. Hope your all doing well.

Well some good news, but never a lack of pain hey? Glad you can see better Robert. So the party is at your place this weekend? Mike.
Hey Robert,
We are so glad to hear your vision is improving and that your last spinal tap was normal. I just read your blog to Grandma over the phone and she says she is "so delighted your eyesight has improved some and that things are looking a bit brighter". Thinking of you, Sharon, Graham and the boys
So good to hear of some encouragement for you. That is what we prayer for on Wednesday night. More of the some this wednesday. love and Huggs, judy
Hey Robert . . . I am so glad to hear that your vision has improved somewhat. I was just thinking about it the other day and had asked Wade about it. Also great news regarding the quad. One thing at a time and hopefully it will all come together. Doctors can be so frustrating at times they just don't realize how important it is to get back to the patient. Glad your ma & pa are going to make it to Jen's recital, just didn't work out for us this year. Would have been nice if you could have made it but I'm sure you'll have a good time with your friend. Hang in there, you are never far from our thoughts and we continue to pray for you. All's well here, we're just sick of winter!!!
So long for now,
Glenys :)
Hi Robert! That's good that your sight and spinal fluid are returning to normal. We'll continue to pray for improvement in the pain as well. We had 9 inches of snow over night on Sat/Sun. Just when we thought there was hope of spring but spring always comes eventually doesn't it? Have a good day! Lots of love and prayers, Ron & Debbie
