Still recovering, waling about 1.5 km per day as well as about 120 - 150 stairs per day, not assisted. Went for my reinstatement of my Drivers License on Thursday. No issue with doctor, then took forms to a registries office, they submitted. Now have to wait for an office worker to review my file, roll there dice and hopefully they land on Yes, should have an answer by Wednesday. This will make a big improvement on my recovery as I want to go to Physio and will be opting out on assistance from the glenrose as they phoned yesterday and were going to try to get me in around the second week of march for training to get me off my walker and walking on my own, 
. I put the walker away the day I got home, lol, and hadn't used it yet. They are too far behind, i'll do on my own or I would be still in bed for two months. Been going in the city often and spending time at my office or visiting clients. Controls my sanity. Not missing much with sledding as there's not much snow, will try my sled this weekend at my parents place,, if they have enough snow, anyway need to let her run for a bit and burn some carbon. Next week going to help the guys and gals at my company, ill go to a 16 story condo project and spend my days on site and run air samples daily on 3 floors, can sit in an office and do computer stuff all day, no different that me being at home all day. Still have chest feeding peg tube, mainly used for water, and meds, all my eating is though my mouth, swallowing is improving I'm able to eat more things by the week, just drinking I can only drink tomatoe / V8 juice in 1/2 oz quantity's. Can even eat granola bars always in small pieces, chew and swallow slowly. Its coming along good. Going to cancel first trip in 2 weeks and reschedule for another month only due to snow conditions, not worth going with crummy conditions and I'm just getting used to this new medication, gabapentin for nerve pain.
I have nerve pain in my face that's awful, feels like someone is scooping my eyeball out with a rusty fork, wire brushing inside my nose and ripping out my teeth on top left side. This stops it but man its a process as you cant take the full dose, you have to work your way up, however this makes you tired and wipes you out at times and takes time to get used to, also as i get used to a dose and pain is under control then I stop and don't increase. think I'm going to stop at the current dose as this works and I'm not a zombie, lol.
