Subject: Update on Surgery


Hey, Y'all:

Just wanted to let you know I went to my neurologist's yesterday and he was
pleased with the results of the surgery I'd had in late August.  The
increase in spasticity in my left leg has eased up a great deal and the
spastic bladder problem has gone away.  Yaaayyyy!

However, my other let is still extremely spastic and he thinks if any
symptoms are to ease up there, it'll take more time.  He talked of a
baclofen pump but not for another 6 or 9 months, to give me time to recover
from the surgery and maximise any improvement.

Whew... Dare I say all the hassle and pain has been worth it?  Yes!
