Baclofen Pump and Some Other Things


So, it’s been a few days since my trial which went great! We were so pleased with the results and the possibilities that this could offer and allow me to do as far as therapy goes, without the spasms. The physical and occupational therapists were also impressed. It’s really a no brainer for me that opting for the surgery is the only answer. I will be having this tomorrow morning, hopefully spending very minimal time in the hospital. I cannot wait to come home, heal and start to feel like myself again.

We also had our new furnace installed. That could have not happened sooner! It really stinks being a quadriplegic and not really having a thermostat in my body that matches everyone else.

Melissa and I went to a couple’s retreat this past Saturday which was a lot of fun and beneficial for the both of us. It consisted of only couples dealing with disabilities in one form or another. There were seven in our group and I think 35 couples overall, the others being parents who have children with disabilities. Again, it was great. We get to me some really cool people and hopefully made some good contacts.

That’s really about it for now. Pretty much just taking it easy today in lieu of tomorrow morning and however many days afterwards it takes to fill normal again. I’m really confident that it’s not going to take much at all, but who am I?

Sorry it took me so long to inform everyone of the results, assuming you cared. Hope you all are going well! Melissa or I will put the post up tomorrow if possible to give an update of how things went.

Take care!

    So far, so good! The surgery went well and we are finally all checked into our room for the night. Aaron doesn’t have any pain at the site of incision, which is great. However, he’s had some pretty intense neck pain most of the day. The doc thinks it is positional because of the way they had him curled on his side during the procedure. Hopefully the night goes well and he is discharged tomorrow. Thank you for checking in!
