SuiteSuccess Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 Messaged him last night. He is in rehab in Toronto and improving. Still some weakness in arms, hands, and legs but outlook is good. Our prayers are eternally with him.

Nigel Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) Thanks guys. In Lyndhurst rehab in Toronto probably the best spinal cord rehab in the country. They will give me a proposed exit date later this week but I expect it will be 6 to 8 weeks and many more months of out patient rehab. Should be able to walk unsupervised in another week or so. Hands and arms have the most deficiencies but expect good outcome with time. I have had some good luck since the fall from the paramedic that changed hospitals because the first didn’t have a neuro surgeon on to the team that did spinal decompression surgery in the middle of the night as soon as they noticed I lost movement in my extremities and the American surgeon who told the insurance company they weren’t bringing me home before the surgery. Also can’t thank Roger Dickenson enough for moving my truck and trailer to storage until we can get back out west and Carl for the phone call. It was a freak accident but emphasizes the need for your spouses to be able to drive your rigs.

Nigel Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 Time for an update. I’m on Vancouver island almost eight months later than planned. I had a balance and mobility test a couple of weeks ago and my result was I compare to an average late thirties person who never had a spinal injury. In January my result was late sixties. Although I feel really good I think the average late thirties person I compare to must be in terrible shape 😊. Hope to meet Roger Dickinson tomorrow, can’t thank him enough for moving my truck and trailer to storage and calling within the hour when we asked for help.
