Update: Home from hospital for just over 24 hours. Considerable amount of pain in neck & shoulders causing decreased mobility. Fortunately very little pain from the 5 inch incision in my neck & back -started healing nicely. Sensation is steadily returning to my right arm and hand!

Fully anticipate mobility will increase as pain and strain heals. Short term goal is to increase overall mobility post op and continue to increase sensation & range of motion in right hand and arm, to return to normal function and research and writing in the next six weeks. Longer term goal is to return to full participation in this year’s Navy Bike Ride in May/June. 

A huge THANK YOU to Dr Ebinu, neurosurgeon and the entire neurosurgery team at Kingston General Hospital for everything that was done for me. Also the entire medical team that provided care for me in the Patient Short Stay Unit (PSSU) before and after the surgery. Your dedication & professionalism is above reproach! 

This will be my last update as I continue to work forward in the recovery process. A Very  Hearty Thank You to everyone, for your support, well wishes, “thoughts and prayers!” I am truly fortunate. 

Also my appreciation to Gerry, Ian, “someone” & the many other folks for Buying me a Coffee during this time. Your support has helped ease the burden for my family travelling over 2 hours each day to hospital, parking, meals and more.

I am truly humbled, thank you all!
