12

Turns out that the doctor I saw today is an outpatient rehab specialist and not a physiotherapist. He did the usual tests all the other doctors did and then explained to me what was going to happen. He focuses on the prognosis, and he is going based on what the neurologist thinks I have. That means he is going to treat the symptoms and not the disease. He told me that any exercise I do at this point will just make me weaker and I'm at the point where he wants to check me into an inpatient clinic near the BC Children's Hospital to work on my strength. Normally they only accept patients who are already in a hospital. It will be a few weeks before that happens though.
