Well as of today, it's been 3 years since my diagnosis was confirmed and 3 years and 9 months since that fateful blood test. But so far I'm no worse for wear, that is if you don't consider the 3 bicycle (10 spd bicycle) accidents, with only the last one being serious.
It's been six weeks since that accident, and I think I may be on the road to recovery. I've been back on the bike for over a week, and I think the dizziness, from the concussion, has finally ended (knock on wood). My ankle still hurts a little, due to the scab that is still in tact, where I had 7 stitches removed about a month ago. I hope it's not taking longer then normal because of my MCL. That is minor compared to the amount of work I need to get back into the shape I was in before the accident. it seems the older you get the harder it is to get back your previous conditioning.
My shoulder is still a little stiff and sore also, which has really put a crimp in my golf game, but I plan to at least get back to the range tomorrow to to test my swing and hopefully shake off some of the stiffness and soreness.
But other then that, I can't complain. I am in much better shape then most people with the same or similar problems. I am lucky, I have a loving wife to watch out for me, lots of good friends, a great job with a supportive boss and co-workers, and I have health insurance which is more then 46 million other Americans can't say.
