Starting a stint in the hospital

in The Clubhouse
It’s no secret that the move to St. Louis has been less than ideal. A gap in my treatment due to the move may have led to an MS exacerbation and that’s got me being admitted to the hospital now. I’ll indergo 3-5 days of IV steroids (not looking forward to that) followed by 1-2 weeks of physical therapy to get me stronger and more independent.

I would appreciate well wishes and positive thoughts.

I hope you are all doing well!

    Sorry to hear about that Victor. I hope your new headphones arrived so you'll at least have some tunes to listen to.

    Hope the time passes quickly and you'll be out before you know it.

    Sorry to here this Vic. I know we've shared similar experiences with MS, but, I always liked the 5 day steroid drips...knew I was going to feel better soon. Then the, um, backlog would hit. :(

    I've got great respect for you and how you handle your battle. Let me know if there's anything I can do.

    Victor, Russ is only a few hours up the river and I am only an hour and a half beyond that so let either of us know if you need anything and we will make it happen...except hookers. My wife frowns on that.

    Get feeling better soon buddy.

    Sorry to hear that. Having a conclusive diagnosis can help. MS is inconclusive enough even with a diagnosis. Thanks for the good thoughts!
