Well I saw the neurologist today. I was a little worried given the warnings I got here but fortunately she seemed to know her stuff. She basically said that everything seems to be progressing well and I need to keep doing what I've been doing. I have a PT appointment tomorrow, and I hope they can help me with my neck because I've been getting stiff and sore necks with obnoxious frequency. I also have a massage scheduled tomorrow evening so that'll be great

Unfortunately I'm off work still for at least 2 more weeks if not more but I guess there's really nothing I can do about that. Just take that time and heal.
Thanks for the help guys!
