Just finished my 6-month post HSCT review with Dr. Burt. The centerpiece of this exam was an MRI scan of my brain and spinal cord to determine if my MS has indeed been stopped.
For those of you who only read this blog to check up on my well-being or to see if you won your Vegas bet on my demise, I'll get straight to the point — HSCT has stopped my MS! Yippee! Yahoo! Nana-nana boo-boo non-paying Blue Cross Blue Shield and ex neurologist who tried to talk me out of doing HSCT.
I WALKED the mile from the hospital back to my hotel on a beautiful summer day along a pedestrian-crowded Michigan Avenue. The walk was challenging and cane-assisted, but much easier than rolling myself in a wheelchair, which I did back in September. There's lots of physical therapy ahead of me yet. But time is on my side for a change. It's good to have a future again!
Yay Wayne! Hope recovery keeps going better and better! :)
