I can't believe I forgot to mention the most significant event in the past
year! *slaps self on head* I had surgery on June 11th for a cochlear
implant and was "activated" a month laer; that is, a sound processor was
connected to the implant. The first couple of days, I was cringing at every
sound, even voices, as people all sounded like they were on helium! I'm
happy to say things have got much better since then although my brain is
still learning how to hear all over again!
But one thing has not changed, I'm sorry to say - Bob Dylan stills sounds
horrible! *grin* I didn't expect him to, anyway. ;)

OK, so how's everyone doing CP-wise? As for me, I've found Botox. Anyone
else have any experience with this stuff? It's been a godsend for me. I
get shot about every 3 months or so and a heck of a lot of stretching in
between. I guess we're going to start using some drug called "Myoblock"
next time around. Apparently the body doesn't develop the same accomodation
to the botulin toxin. I also found a kick-butt orthotist in town that built
an incredible AFO for me--makes a night and day difference in my gait.
Last year I had an aneurysm pop somewhere in my gut and came pretty close to
going 'casters up'. The net result was that I lost about 30 pounds in the
hospital and have managed to keep it off. That helps enormously. Every
pound you lose is one pound less to carry on a battered old frame.
I've also found a new med called Lyrica (pregabalin). The stuff originally
was prescribed for folks with diabetic nerve pain, but they are discovering
it helps with a host of CNS issues. My pain load has dropped remarkably.
Lyrica and Zanaflex (tizanidine) at night are the only two CP meds I'm
taking now. I'm doing better than I have been in years.
Enough about me, what about everyone else? Bring me up to date on
everything.
Kyle
