A Quick One

Hey, I finally kind of got ahold of the doctor. Well I talked to his secretary who looked through my file and found some notes. I'm not sure of any real details but this is how she explain it to me. She said that the mid line of my pelvis has fused together as well as s1/s2. There are a few partial fusions in the pelvis as well as one/some (She wasn't very clear on this) non fusions. So basically some of the bone have healed while other's haven't. This is what I'm assuming is the cause of all the pain. She also told me that since the problem area isn't in the spine but in the pelvis that I have been referred to a orthopedic specialist in Kelowna. Apparently all my info was faxed over on friday and I should hear from them soon. Who knows what that means. I'm glad that he isn't sending me to the orthopedic surgeon I had in vancover when I was at VGH because he was pretty much useless. Anyways everything is still kind of a mystery but at least we might be heading in the right direction.

Glad to hear that the ball is at least moving in some sort of direction now, i'll be praying that it's the right direction. I know it must be very frustrating for you going through physio and having doctors that are at times unclear. But, i would encourage you to stay strong in your recovery and look to the One who will continue to give you strength and knows every little detail of what you're going through. Praying for you.

Robert, thank you for continuing to update us. You have so many people watching over you and praying for you! That is so cool!! What is it like going through the metal detector at the airport? Were they nice to you? Wishing you all the best and praying those feet will one day kick your soccer ball around again!! Laura Jacobsen

Hey Rob

So I´m in New Zealand and have a roommate who reminds me a lot about you, in fact so much that I could fall into the trap of calling him Rob! Anyway, keep giving us these updates! Hope you are still being obnoxious, making people laugh and all:P
I will keep on praying!

It was good to hear your progress report. Thanks Robert. Can't wait till you're able to sit in a car without pain then you can come and see us! We're having a blizzard here even tho when I got out of the car a half hour ago it was fine. I guess I just need to learn a little patience. Say hi to your Dad and Mom (or is this when they are gone? Anyway God bless you! Love & prayers,Ron and Debbie.
