We still have a long road ahead of us but we are heading in the right direction. Christine he says his jaw doesn't hurt but I would imagine it would. I know he has a very high pain threshold compared to others but still I think there must be pain. Hopefully soon HBO will get all of this sorted. I will keep you all updated with our progress. First step is 3 monthly appointment with his RO this thursday. Fingers crossed all going good still and we can start the medical transfer to the new hospital and get the ball rolling with hbo.
Liza, keep in mind that what if's go for good things too. That's how I like to think about it anyway. You will come through this and we will all see brighter days. Steve is like you, feels the cold alot so being back in sunny Nth Qld will be very nice for him and me. Anytime you need to visit the barrier reef and feel the sunshine just let me know. Lots of love and hugs to you too xoxoxo
