Sorry,No Cool Title
This week was ok. I feel like my balance has gotten a little better...So that is great! What holds me back is my 'ataxia' or lack of coordination/control and I have it extemely bad,where I shake, but that has gotten much better. When you are trying to keep you balance and your body is moving slighltly and uncontrollably in ways you do not want that does not help. I talked about my eyes last time. The 'orthoptist' I saw tested my sensory movements of my eyes.Like where my eyes are,what I see and when I see it and how I may see things different than people with 'normal' vision...by the way...Only about 200 or so 'orthoptists' are in the nation...crazy huh! Well, no surgery date is set to straighten it but it will be early this summer! Get it over with already!

Hey John: I read your blog and it is great news that you feel your balance has gotten a little better. To that I say "YIPPPEEEE!"Remember, "From small beginnings come great things." A year ago you were at RIC with your eyes closed 80% of the time, you could not feed yourself and when you stood up you needed 100% assistance. Not to mention you were barely audible! Now, when you stop to put things into perspective, you have come along way John boy!!!!! Also, keep in mind that every dream takes time to grow. Some people never accomplish what you have in a lifetime. So, keep up the good work. I am so veerryyyy proud of you!!!!!!!
I know John wil not give up!!!
Glad to see things are getting better for you. One day at a time man. I still think at this point you could beat Turner in a Tour de Briarwood. Anytime you are ready I've got two wheels itchin' to ride. See ya around man!
