Today marks one month since returning home from acute rehab. In many ways it seems like so much longer. I'm now going to out-patient rehab 3 days a week and making good progress there. I can walk short distances without aid and can even shower standing up now.
However, Due to long term low blood pressure I developed gangrene in most of my toes and am going to loose some of them -- we are all waiting to see how much of how many I'll lose. I'm also still struggling with some residual dizziness - also due to low blood pressure - as well as continuing pain in my arm from DVT.
However, with all that I'm damn glad to be alive and am hopeful that things will get better with time.

Damn Ren..hang in there. It sounds like your are going to live and thats a great thing! Less toes will make you lighter on the bike. I've been struggling with my own health problems too and know how tough it is to stay positive, even with all the joy that kids bring. My blood pressure and spinal pressures are too high. I guess the body wants them just right!
