James' appt. tomorrow

[admin]

Hey all! Were heading to see the Dr. tomorrow. James isnt saying too much about it, seems to be taking it all in strides. It has been 17 months since his surgery, andseen the doc only once before now, post op. and not much was going on then, so well see what he has to say tomorrow. James is going to finally meet someone tomorrow (DeeDee, 14 years old) and hes a little anxious I think. This has been the first time since his accident 2 years ago, that he has even wanted to talk to anyone.

Priscilla... this is GREAT! One ofthe best things i ever did was to meet and talk to those who share the injury! We understand each other better than ANYONE else ever oculd, even the doctors! I am sure it will be great for him to talk to her! As for the appointment... good luck and let us know how you make out!!

It went really good. The Dr. isnt suggesting another surgery right now, because he thinks hes progressing pretty good and wants to give it more time. He wants another EMG in 6 months and wantsto see James again in 6 monthsto see how he is then. Its a slow go, but we are optimistic and cant rush it by no means.
