Update on Steve and me (I?)

I have heard from Steve twice lately and it appears he's doing OK.  Still in the early stages of recovery and trying to negotiate his way around the swelling, swallowing, etc.  He was in the hospital for about 10 days, which is about par for the course--so that's a good sign.

My own recovery has stalled a bit, but I am told that is not unusual.  I saw the orthopeadic doc today and he ordered a nerve test (EMG) to figure out what's going on with the nerves in my left neck/shoulder area.  From that they will know which nerve/s are not firing correctly and be able to estimate how much regeneration I can expect.

Back on a plateau

After some optimistic improvement about 2 weeks ago, my leg and shoulder seem to have stayed the same and maybe gotten a bit worse.  Probably par for the course (2 steps forward, 1 step back), but it has been a bit disappointing.  I had hoped to be doing some light jogging by now, but that is still in the distant future.  I can still pick my nose with my left hand, so it's not been a total retreat.

The plan is to see the orthopedic doc on 9/8 to schedule a MRI for the shoulder.

No word yet from Steve Nau on his jaw surgery, so just keeping the Good Vibes going for him until he gets back in touch.  Please do the same.
