Today we went and saw my neurosurgeon Dr. Shaun O’Leary for my one week follow up after the repair surgerie’s. We were supposed to see him last week but saw him early in the operating room. Today he checked everything and also the Medtronic tecnician was there and so they decided to kick up the dose on my pump 10 mcg, so right now I am getting approximately 70 mcg per day, I think. Next week we go back to get the stitches taken out of my back and hopefully it will stay closed this time! They will also kick the pump up by 20 mcg more. Their plan is to get me up to a state of drooling all over myself with zero muscle tone and then slowly pulling it back till I regain ability to move and speak.
