Sometimes squeaky wheels and talking about things get the grease, and that certainly happened after I posted about the Paperwork Blues last week. I finally feel as if things are moving again, even though things are still agonizingly slow. Thing number one is my wheelchair finally got processed to order. I am still awaiting an… Continue reading Assessments and Things

Paperwork Blues
I haven’t written much here on the blog because there hasn’t been much to report. I’ve also been fighting probably my deepest depression since all of this started. It is directly related to the fact that it takes literally forever to get this paperwork sorted so I can get back to my life. I’ve lacked… Continue reading Paperwork Blues
Sparky 2.0
Friday was a big day! It came both quicker and slower than I expected, but I was more than ready to get Sparky 1.0 replaced so I can get the MRI finally and hopefully get a firm diagnosis to what is going on with me. As procedures go this was fairly straightforward. Reported to registration,… Continue reading Sparky 2.0
The EMG…aka controlled tasing
An EMG is one of the tests the neurologist suggested I get when I saw him in April. For those who don’t know what it is, it is a test that uses small electrical shocks to determine how well your nerves in the periphery of your body (arms and legs) conduct signals. I finally had… Continue reading The EMG…aka controlled tasing
The Secret Is Out….
So the secret is out, yes I can walk, some. This post has been percolating in my head for a good long while, and while yes, my walking has gotten better in the last four months, the fact is that long term as I have said before on this blog is that I will be… Continue reading The Secret Is Out….
Driving Part Deux
It figures on the first stormy, rainy day I would have my in-car evaluation but that is the way things go sometimes. We left the house in some rain and while I was in the waiting room it started to pour. Oh well, in Ohio one must drive in the rain so I got that… Continue reading Driving Part Deux
Pisces Gonna Pisces
Once a week or so I get to go to the Drake Center for water-based physical therapy. Those who have known me a long time know that I was on swim team for a long time when I was younger, and I am a water sign, and I do love the water, whether it is… Continue reading Pisces Gonna Pisces
Driving 2.0
I must say, I’ve been like a giddy teenager waiting for this appointment today, and it finally arrived. Today I got my driving assessment through Kettering Neuro Balance and Rehab. Today was all of the out of car tests, and using some hand controls in a driving simulator. They deal with all sorts of patients,… Continue reading Driving 2.0
I Guess I’m Making Progress
The funny thing about recovery is that when you are going day to day, you don’t always see the progress that you are making. It is even hard for my parents, since they see me everyday. Therefore it is good when I get periodic check ins with my various friends and they see the progress… Continue reading I Guess I’m Making Progress
Appointment City
Going to all of my appointments and coordinating them is a full time job. I am so glad my housing situation is mostly on track, I don’t know what I would do if I was still waiting on that to all get taken care of. In this week alone I have 5 appointments, and two… Continue reading Appointment City
