Maybe I just need to visit my neurologist every week. (instead of ever 4 weeks) Every time I see him I feel energy charged and want to go out and show everyone what I can do. Then of course reality sets in.
This is the Doctor who originally sent me to Barrow. We are investigating what could have been an ocular migraine or just an infection. He said both are not uncommon even up to a year after the surgery. He said sometimes even the bone flap can still be troubling.
In my case, one of my other Doctors noticed that the bone flap and orbit over my right eye have not completely fused. So my eyeball is pressing up against it. I just rolled my eyes and said to slice me open and slap some spackle in it. So what do we do? Why another MRI of the area with and without contrast. Crap, more needles. I am such a fan of them.
Maybe I am seeking Dr. Coufal’s approval or it is just I want to show him so badly that I beat the odds and really can get my old self back. (Despite what he says) He did say today that I beat incredible odds to get this far. I am going back and forth with Robin on whether I should even start wheelchair fencing.
Next week at Nationals is going to be a big test. I am sort of scared.
