A Long overdue update

Medically, a LOT has happened. I had numerous tests and saw a LOT of specialists and finally have some answers.

The Superior Vena Cava Syndrome caused Venous Hypertension. The Venous Hypertension caused decreased blood flow to my cervical spinal cord AKA Ischemic Spinal Cord. This is not a good thing. In other words, I now have a damaged Cervical Spinal Cord be cause the decreased blood flow was low enough to limit oxygen levels in my Spinal Cord.

A Neurosurgeon studied the CT Myelograms and said it was worse than previous thought - I have a Spinal Cord impingement at the C4-6 level AKA a Spinal Cord injury. In a meeting with him, the Chief of Neurology and a few others, it was determined that I had Guillain-BarrĂ© syndrome due to the Swine Flu Shot while in the military and that I now have Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy - or maybe it’s Progressive Axonal Sensorimotor Polyneurpathy. Regardless, everything added together translates to me being an asymmetrical quadriplegic.

Meanwhile, I have had a major falling out with Disney. Due to their Not Give A Shit attitude about a very important matter to me, I let my many years of Annual Passes lapse and haven’t returned. You know what - I haven’t missed it.
