Update
Well, today is a very hard day. I've recently made the decision to take some time off of school.
I'm not doing well to be honest. My reflexes are significantly decreased and I've begun to have saddle paresthesias. My muscle strength has also decreased significantly and I am having trouble ambulating and issues with my gait. (Not to worry, as Dr. Balderston knows all of this.)
My wife and I are so sick of all of this--the pain that is--it's been a really hard year on both of us. I hope Germany really works out, as I can't keep living my life like this. I've held it together for too long now...and it's starting to take its toll on me.
May 14th can't get here fast quick enough. I'll keep everyone posted.
