Hey, Finally Some Good News

Hey finally some good news, it appears that my heparin will be coming out tonight and they will get my blood adjusted Tuesday and I should be, could be hope to be off to London on Wednesday.  It seams that there were a lot of people pulling for me to get into Parkwood, Some people that I don’t even know. Thanks to everybody, particularly the ones I do know, and you know who you are.  It’s great to be going because it is the next step forward, however I am a little bit concerned about  going in a medical transit vehicle from Toronto to London, oh well, maybe they will give me some drugs and that should help out a bit.
My roommate, gord sloan is probably also leaving on Tuesday or Wednesday to go to Lyndhurst he is a little more mobile than I am, as he has the use of his arms. And can even push is own wheel chair.
A move forward, I can twitch the muscles of my left leg, with out it going into spasm although it still goes into spasm when they move me around, Or during any other movement at any time.
 As mentioned gord has been a good roommate although we are going to keep in contact as I have his phone number and his email address.
 So check in before you come and visit especially if you are planning on coming on wed. or after because we may be in parkwood. Meghan will keep you posted, so check here or check the facebook page.
