Enough time off and back to work...

After two weeks back in Colorado, I think for the first time ever I was actually anxious and excited to get back from leave. I guess that being able to get up walking again will do that. Not that being back home (sorta??) wasn't great. Started the trip having a chance to see my brother graduate high school and turn 18, in turn just making me feel old. Bookending the trip was Danielathon, which turned out to be a great time. Thanks to Caitlin and all the other that help make it such a good time. It was great seeing everyone, even if i didn't have near enough time to spend individually (next time I guess). Even in the chaos of my family packing up a house around me I managed to relax a little bit.
However once back into San Diego, it was straight back to appointments this week, and a long week it was. Looking forward to a great deal of time walking,with my sockets fitting well, and no other priorities I got my first full week in. Both prosthetics and physical therapy had me doing endless laps in the parallel bars and with solo-step (basically strapping me in a harness and attaching it to the ceiling). I still barely know what i'm doing, and every muscle in my body is burningly sore. Nevertheless it felt unbelievable to be up and working on it. Not that the week was without difficulty, I did manage to have a hell of time going through methadone withdrawals. It is a necessary evil, but definitely a made for a rough week (for evidence ask Aaron or my dad). Of course adding to the pain was watching the Canucks lose Games 3 and 4. But at least the Game 5 win matched my better mood nearing the end of thee week, now if could just forget my body is aching I'd be good.

Everything-Must-Go Garage Sale

This weekend will complete the Riley's move to San Diego. Tomorrow (Sat. June 11th; 7am-2pm) will be the one-day Everything-Must-Go Garage Sale at the house (7613 W. Quarto Ave., Littleton, CO, 80128). Then drop off leftovers to Goodwill and then load a second truck with remaining items going to the apartment in San Diego. We leave Sunday afternoon to drive the 1100+ miles.

We are expecting, and excited about, a special guest that may come by the garage sale and wish us well on our adventure.

We are all exhausted from sorting, packing, and loading. We look forward to being together as a family again.

We are also looking forward to seeing our son, Tristan, who graduates from US Marine bootcamp (at MCRD, San Diego) in a week! on June 17th! Pray for the successful completion of The Crucible this weekend!

9 News

Daniel was interviewed today by a 9 News reporter, Cheryl Preheim.  He was great and spoke very well.  The interview should air on 9 News Denver tomorrow night (Friday, May 27th) at 9:00 and 10:00 as a Memorial Day special report.  Set those DVRs.

Back on my feet again!

May 17, 2011 was a HUGE day in Daniel's recovery.  He was back up and walking for the first time since December 16th!  He is now beginning his rehabilitation using his C-legs (computerized legs).

Enough said, here is the video ....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyx-ZENMAeI 

Postscript ... Daniel progressed so well on his first day with these legs they are calling him the new "benchmark."  After many laps back and forth along the bars someone said, "Wow, he's ready to do this with canes."  Another staff member replied, "No one has ever done that on their first time up."  Of course, Daniel heard this and responded, "Get me some canes!" and became the first to ever get up on their C-legs for the first time and walk with just the canes!!  More of this attitude to come.

Daniel's new apartment (May 6, 2011)

On May 6th Daniel began a huge step towards independence and to a "normal" life.  He was handed his keys to his first apartment.

It is in a wonderful apartment complex in the Rancho San Diego area (near El Cajon, CA).  It has many services, stores, and a Starbucks within wheelchair distance and is only a 20-25 minute drive from the hospital.  Through some generous people and Veterans Housing Initiative (VHI) he was given the opportunity to get a one-bedroom apartment and a hugely reduced rate.   VHI also completely furnished it and made sure he had all the supplies the needed - especially in the kitchen where Daniel loves to spend time cooking.

"Hmmm... what to grand cuisine should I make first?
Miso-glazed sea bass and asparagus or ramen noodles?"

It affords him enough room to be on his own and be comfortable (and for dad to have a closet and a sleeper-sofa).  Daniel is very thankful to be out of the hospital barracks (where no one gets healthy again!).

Riley Family Relocating

Dear family and friends,

After a great deal of personal and family reflection (and prayer) Julia and I have discerned that the best thing for Daniel and our family is to relocate to the San Diego area.  This is not something we do lightly or without a measure of sadness.  We made a covenant (a promise) to our children when each were born; that we would do all that we can to support and encourage them - no matter what happens.  This relocation is part of living out the covenant we have made with our children.

We have made the decision for a number of reasons:

(1) Daniel will need support and encouragement for many months to come.  He is likely to be at the Naval Medical Center San Diego until the Summer of 2012.  We go primarily to be there for him.  In the near term he will need help driving him places and some assistance with daily living.  Longer term we will be available for occasional assistance and other encouragement as needed.

(2) We have also found that we have reached the end of our ability to function as a family and be separated.  This "family-via-long-distance thing" has grown old and hard to keep doing.  I have been the sole caregiver for five months without a break.  We want to share the honour of helping out our wounded warrior.

(3) We have also reached a point in our financial situation that demands a change.  I have been without pay since January (my employer, The Bishop and Episcopal Diocese of Colorado, has graciously allowed me unpaid leave until August 1st and has covered our medical insurance during that time). Due to an injury and subsequent surgery to Julia's Achilles tendon she has lost her job at Jefferson County School District working in a school cafeteria.  Up until now we have been able to hold off bankruptcy and due to the generosity of some of our creditors (especially US Bank and Chase/JP Morgan) we should continue to avoid filing.  But, we are now at a place where we cannot continue paying our mortgage. It would not feel right to us to keep living in the place and not paying our obligations.  We will be losing our home.  Therefore, we have put our house up for sale and hope that we get enough to cover the remaining mortgage or we will attempt a "short sale."  Please pray for a buyer! Quickly!

A few other notes:

• I have communicated briefly with Bishop O'Neill that I will not be returning to my ministry with the people of the Diocese of Colorado and Cathedral Ridge.  After almost 12 years, this was a hard thing to do!   I will miss being part of the exciting future of Cathedral Ridge.
• Daniel and I will be in Colorado until the Danielathlon (June 4th) and then over the next couple weeks we will get our belongings to San Diego and into storage.  We hope to be all there by Tristan's graduation from marine boot camp (June 16-17).
• We will be having a BIG garage sale on June 10th and 11th.
• Due to the gracious financial support of so many we have enough funds to cover the move via U-Haul, rent, and living expenses until the end of the summer. We want to give a special thank you to The Rev. Brooks Keith and the Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration, Vail, who have pulled together people and resources to assist Daniel and our family.  We are also very thankful for the support of our immediate and distant family members. In the meantime, Julia and I will both begin looking for work that helps us cover our expenses and also make sure we are available as needed for Daniel.
• We have secured a one-bedroom apartment for Julia and I in the same complex as Daniel's new apartment.  Aaron will come with us for the summer and try and find work.  He will live with Daniel  during that time.  Aaron has been accepted, and hopes, to attend the University of Colorado, Boulder, in the Fall.

We really wish we could have told everyone personally.  Unfortunately, this is all moving fast (our house will be up on the market tomorrow) and we need to get things rolling.  We will truly miss living here in Colorado and the dear friends who we have been privileged to get to know over the past 12 years.  We do not know what the future holds.  We are just travelling the path that seems best to us and allows us to be faithful to what we believe is right for us. We rest in God's hands. We ask for your prayers.

in Christ,
Neil Riley

Leave

Daniel will be enjoying two-weeks of leave back in Colorado.  He arrived Saturday and will be there until June 5th.  It will be a busy couple weeks including all the graduation festivities around his youngest brother's high school graduation, an interview for TV news, hanging out at Barnes and Nobles, and the Danielathlon on June 4th.

Danielathlon

Hey everyone. Some good friends of Daniel are setting up a family day of fun and games in celebration and support of Daniel. Those on Facebook can find It under "Danielathlon". It is planned for June 4th at a park in the Littleton area. Stay tuned for details either on Facebook or on this blog.

We look forward to seeing you all.  :)

........  Caitlin said...

Thanks to Daniel and the family for letting me get this crazy idea off the ground!

The 1st annual Danielathlon will be June 4 at Dekoevend Park in Littleton from 11-2. It's called the Danielathlon because it's going to be ten events and games like a triathlon but kicked up a notch! We're going to have soccer goal shoot outs, lawn bowling, shoe kick, water balloons and other awesome competitions- with a prize for the winner of each of course!

The event will be free to attend but donations will be heavily emphasized. We will also be selling hand screen pressed t-shirts, food and having a raffle for some wonderful door prizes.

Please visit facebook.com/danielathlon for more info. We're working on getting a website up and running to be able to register and should have a logo and printed materials in the next two weeks.

I know all of you love Daniel as much as I do so if you are in the Denver area, please come out and show your support. And pass it on to everyone you know!

#22 Went Better than Expected

Yesterday's surgery went much better than expected. After a quick time in recovery Daniel was up and ready to get out of the hospital and head to his apartment. In fact, he was in a pretty big hurry to get out of there. At first I was wondering, why the urgency. Was he sick of hospitals? Was it the food? Was he tired or hurting? Nope, none of the above. The Vancouver Canuck's playoff hockey game was starting soon. He was lounging at the apartment watching the game with a drink, a salad and a pizza pocket before the first period had competed 5 minutes.

Surgery #22 complete and he is hoping not to have any more. So, one wonders, do these guys get some kind of frequent flyer points for these surgeries? How about one free after each ten surgeries? Or maybe a parting gift after every five? How about an all-expenses paid cruise for four people after you reach 20? Or how about one dollar's worth of travel on Expedia for every stitch? I'm just saying .....

Surgery #22

Well it came as a surprise and a disappointment. Daniel has had to go back into surgery to follow up on some work that was done in surgery #21 (May 2nd). He has gone in today and will go home tonight. It was a real blow to Daniel when he was told this on Monday. But, we are now getting used to the ups and downs.

Finally, some food

Daniel is finally allowed to have some real food (granted, that which is offered by The Rice King can hardly be called "food"). Here he is released for a while off the ward to eat and watch the Canucks game.

No. Really?!?

Yesterday I spent the day cleaning, painting, and helping to prepare Daniel's new apartment. Late that evening, when returning back to the barracks, I texted Daniel to see if he was up for a visit or whether he wanted me to drop by in the morning instead. Daniel was tired and said the next day would be fine.
Julia then said, "Hey, this will be the first day you have not seen Daniel since December 24th".
I replied, "No. Really?!?". Then I thought about it and "Yes, really".
Not too sure what to make of that!

Feeling just plain old miserable

Daniel's surgeries on Monday went well. The colostomy reversal went smoothly and all his pipes have been cleaned out and put back together again. The other procedures took longer than expected, but, turned out better than hoped.

However, he still feels miserable. He went without eating or drinking (even water) from Sunday night until Wednesday. The medical staff finally gave him some juice and chicken broth. He was unable to keep it down. He is trying to have some again today. Needless to say he is very tired and weak and feeling yucky! He still hurts as well and the tv in his room doesn't have the channel with the NHL playoffs. On the bright side, he did get a "Super Patient" sticker from the nurses. We hope he will be discharged soon.

A few changes coming this week.

Today Daniel goes into the hospital to prepare for his surgeries.  After they have been completed and he has healed a bit he will be able to start doing so much more! Regular showers and/or baths, swimming, more and better core exercises, wearing his preferred t-shirts, and a whole lot more.

After he gets out (likely late in the week) he will be moving to his new apartment.  Through the generosity of Capt. Fred Gorris (USN-ret) and the organization he heads up, Veterans Housing Initiative, Daniel has been set up with a nice one-bedroom apartment only a 15-20 minute drive from the hospital.  They have secured the unit for him at a very low cost for up to two years, are helping to furnish it, and offer other support to assist in his healing.  It is near shopping, theaters, Starbucks, grocery stores, etc. (Alas, no bookstore nearby).  This a wonderful opportunity to get back into "normal" life and to get out of the barracks.  The barracks at the hospital are not a place to get healthy.  They are conveniently close to his appointments - but that's all!

I will be staying on his couch and helping out as necessary.  That will involve lots of driving until he gets his car adapted and he has taken the adapted driving training.  Julia is coming out to San Diego today for a few days to see Daniel and help set up his new place - no doubt, adding a mother's touch.

Thank you!!

PT (Physical Therapy)

One of the constant "appointments" Daniel has each day is PT (Physical Therapy). The work he does there varies greatly. Since the most important muscles that need to be worked to enable him to use the prosthetics are his core muscles (abs, etc) he does lots of exercises and stretching of his core. He also practices walking, balancing, and general fitness. Today included the hand bike while balancing on his stubbies and new sockets. He is now starting to move to two PT times a day as often as possible.

Surgery #21 scheduled

Surgery #21 has been scheduled.  FYI - Daniel numbers the surgeries by how many times he was in surgery under general anesthetic.  Not by individual procedures - that would be too hard to keep track of since some of his "surgeries" have had many different procedures, doctors, etc..

He goes into the hospital on Sunday May 1st for surgery the next day.  The main surgery will be the reversal of the colostomy.  Yahoo!!!  We are very grateful that he is a candidate for it - there are many guys who keep it for life.  He is likely to be in the hospital for all week and leave with a wound-vac and catheter. Yuck!  They will "piggy back" a couple other procedures while he is out under the anesthetic.

He has had to do a few procedures and tests before this next time "under the knife."  One of these yesterday was VERY unpleasant.  He had a bad reaction to some medication and it caused him to be in a great deal of pain.  Daniel described his pain level at a 7 or 8 out of 10!  That was the worst pain since back at Bethesda Naval Hospital.  Doing okay now, but it took a lot out of him.  Resting today.

He is already looking forward to his next leave which is planned for the end of May for a couple weeks for Aaron's graduation (May 28th) and the Danielathlon (June 4th).

Road Trip

Arches National Park, Utah

Daniel enjoyed a nice relaxing couple weeks of convalescence leave at the end of March.  It began with a huge welcome by friends, family, and supporters at the Denver International Airport and continued with some quiet and rest for the next two weeks.  His leave concluded with an extended drive back to San Diego.

Daniel bought his new vehicle and was excited to do a road trip. Packing wheelchair, prosthetics, and the personal luggage for Aaron, Daniel, Julia, and Neil in the Land Rover was a challenge.  The further we went on the trip the better and faster we all got at stuffing things in, and on top of, the car.  That being said, it was a nice vehicle for a road trip.  "California, here we come ...."-

The first leg (oops, prosthetic) of the road trip was from home to Moab, Utah; with a stop for tea/coffee with Brooks, Rachel, and Katy Keith in Vail and lunch with Elizabeth in Grand Junction. We arrived into the Moab area in time to do a little driving and sightseeing in Arches National Park. We found a quirky little motel/lodge in Moab to stay in.

The next day was a trek through the eastern deserts Utah and wide expanses of northern Arizona to the Grand Canyon.  A little stop along the way for some pictures allowed for a little off-roading, that kept causing Julia to fear that we would tip over or get stuck.  We enjoyed seeing the Grand Canyon (south rim), especially with the special drives to areas afforded wheelchairs normally only accessible by shuttle busses.  Daniel got close to edges courtesy of his brother carrying him beyond the confines of the paths.  Sunset was pretty, but cold!



Daniel at the edge of the Grand Canyon



Vegas baby! We figured that a couple days wandering around Las Vegas would be fun and fairly easy in a wheelchair.  We were kinda wrong.  This city is not so wheelchair friendly as we had guessed.  While individual hotels (we stayed at the Luxor) were pretty good, getting around The Strip was not as accessible and involved LONG distances between sights.  Too far too travel and too many street crossovers that required the limited and hard to find elevators.  Including one time that he got up and over a street only to find the elevator on the other side to get down out of order.  This affected the level of fun and at times greatly frustrated Daniel as he discovered more of his "new normal". We were also frustrated at the limited (or unavailability) of wheelchair seating at the shows Daniel and Aaron wanted to see.

But, we found ways to have fun, found a show for Aaron and Daniel (Cirque de Solei, Ka, at the MGM), enjoyed some good and plentiful buffets, saw some sights, Daniel enjoyed the poker tables, and we learned to manage the limitations.

After two nights in Sin City we headed off through the deserts towards the coast.  We detoured (Aaron doing much of the driving) through the Mojave Desert, near Twenty-Nine Palms (Ughh!!!), and a quick visit to Joshua Tree National Park.  Neil took over driving and we pushed on through a gorgeous sunset to Anaheim.  After learning about the travails of Vegas we got a hotel across the street from the main gate of Disneyland.

We decided that the best way for us to enjoy Disneyland, not have to rush, and to allow Daniel times to rest, we would visit the place over three days. That was a wise decision.  We could wake up late, go back to the hotel for breaks, take leisurely lunches out of the park, return when we wanted, and rush to hit every ride in a short period of time.  Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure were very wheelchair friendly and compact enough to get around easy enough.  Everyone had a great time and we hope to be back soon.  :-)

Three goofies!

The road trip concluded with a leisurely drive down the southern California coast.  Our last night Julia and Neil were able to get a nice hotel along the waterfront in San Diego while Aaron stayed with Daniel in the barracks.  We all had a really nice time.  We are very thankful to some kind people who gave us some resources and helped made this road trip possible.  Thank you.

Pain Wars: The Phantom Menace

Some have asked how Daniel is doing with regards to managing pain. The early phase of just stabilizing him was followed closely by the phase pain management.  Pain can be categorized into two basic groups: surgical pain and Phantom Limb Pain.

Surgical pain is that pain that he experiences much like most of do when we get hurt.  These are nerve and muscle pain that we experience from direct trauma to our body.  This is the easy pain to understand and communicate with others.  You know the kind: a stubbed toe, and broken bone, a torn achilles tendon, the hurt after having surgery, etc.  It varies in intensity and we all handle it in different ways.  Daniel had a great deal of this pain early on.  This is not really an issue any more.  Medication and time have healed most of that pain.  Right now he has it due to his recent ear surgery.  He says it feels like someone shoved a pencil in his ear  - ouch!

The second, and more elusive, group of pain is Phantom Limb Pain. 

Phantom Limb Pain is the sensation that an amputated or missing limb (even an organ, like the appendix) is still attached to the body. Approximately 60 to 80% of individuals with an amputation experience phantom sensations in their amputated limb, and the majority of the sensations are painful. The missing limb often feels shorter and may feel as if it is in a distorted and painful position. Occasionally, the pain can be made worse by stress, anxiety, and weather changes. Phantom limb pain is usually intermittent. The frequency and intensity of attacks usually decline with time.  The introduction and regular use of prosthetics greatly reduces the sensations.

Daniel felt this sensation early on in his recovery and as surgical pain subsided the phantom pains became worse.  He feels it more when stressed and when he is cold.  He rarely feels it with his fingers, but he is in a constant battle with phantom leg pain.  Granted, it is less and more controlled than it has been.  Early on he felt like his legs were continually sticking straight out.  He has said that he pain is sometimes like someone is stabbing a knife into his foot or knee.  Other times it is like putting his foot into a fire.  It is a constant nagging companion that sometimes spikes into an unbearable menace.

There is no easy answer or remedy for the kinds of pain Daniel has dealt with over the past few months.  Phantom pains are treated in many different ways.  Drugs are one way to control it.  That usually entails a mixture of different kinds and levels of medications.  The concoction varies from person to person.  For one Percocet is an important drug, for others it may Methadone, Oxycoton, Pamelor, Morphene, or Lyrica.  More than likely it is a combination of these.  Daniel is past the Dilaudid and Ketamine stage (two VERY powerful drugs) and is slowly lowering his need for his combination of other drugs.

Beyond drugs there are a whole variety of other remedies that have varying levels of effectiveness.
Here are a few ….

·         Tapping and rubbing the ends of the limbs. (sometimes gives Daniel some relief)

·         Acupuncture. (Didn’t work at all for Daniel and only made him look “bedazzled”)

·         Silver or other metal fibers in his “shrinkers” (the socks he wears on the end of his limbs).  (Unsure whether this has helped or not)

·         Pulsed Radio Frequency Ablation- this is a procedure done through the pain clinic here at the hospital (in fact this procedure is done only here in the entire country by the two doctors treating Daniel).  It basically involves probing via long needles the ends of his legs to find and “zap” the nerve endings that are triggering the phantom pain.  If this procedure is done well (actually tapping into the right nerves, which is hard due to the extreme trauma in his legs) it works extremely well.  He had this procedure done earlier this week on his left leg (the worse of his two) and he has little spiking in his phantom pain right now.  In Daniel’s words, “It basically numbs it so it won’t flare up.”

·         Mirror Therapy - Daniel places a mirror near him and looks at another’s legs in place of his and his brain somehow sees it as his own and lowers the pain.  Sometimes just rubbing another person’s foot helps out.  We really don’t understand this.  But, it really does work.  He uses it less now, but at times it was a great way to bridge the gap between the spike in pain and medication taking over.  We thank the Dr. Cindy Bukach (University of Richmond, Cognitive Psychology) for first introducing us to it and Lynn Boulanger (Naval Medical Center, San Diego; Occupational Therapy) for helping us to figure out how to do it.  (pictured below is Daniel doing mirror therapy with the help of his brother, Tristan)

Please continue to pray for Daniel’s recovery and eventual end to his pain.

Surgery #20 - Tympanoplasty

Daniel's surgery yesterday went well - better than expected.  His ear surgery (Tympanoplasty) was to repair the left ear drum that had a hole in it that was caused by the IED blast.  He had lost about half his hearing on the left side.  The surgeons removed some tissue from just behind the outside of his ear and used it to "patch" the ear drum.  To gain access to the ear canal there was a chance that they would have to make an incision behind his ear and fold forward his ear.  Fortunately, they were able to do the procedure through the ear canal.  We should know in a couple weeks to what extent the surgery was successful.  The surgery took a couple hours and then a few hours recovering from being put under.  He has some pain - he said it was like someone had stuck a pencil in his ear), but it is being managed.

Today - main thing on the schedule is a procedure at radiology to look things over inside before they set a date for the colostomy reversal.  He is not up to doing PT today (don't blame him).

He was cheered up a bit by getting a letter from Tristan.  He smiles as he thinks about the fact that Tristan is just down the road at bootcamp - feeling just as miserable!  Brotherly love???!!???

Back into the routine

Daniel is back into the routine in San Diego. His mother and brother (Aaron) left late last night to back home. Yesterday was full of appointments and getting a better picture of what the next few weeks will hold. It is going to be a rough next few weeks. He has at least three different surgeries to go through (gets him to 21). Included in the surgeries will the reversal of the colostomy. This is a really good thing. Unfortunately, he will be in the hospital as an impatient for about a week and then be out with a catheter and maybe even a "wound vac" for some time afterwards. He is in surgery today for a repair procedure with his left ear.

Recruit Riley

Daniel is back in San Diego and his brother, Tristan, is only a couple miles away (but a world away) at Marine boot camp. It is feels odd to be so very close, yet so very far away! Daniel has had a couple pieces of mail from him. Of course, due to his hand writing, it is almost illegible! :-) But, it is the thought that counts. Tristan says that it is really hard, but he likes the food! Feel free to write Tristan and encourage him:

Disneyland

With the ups and downs (and limitations) of being in Disneyland in a wheelchair Daniel still finds a way to make the best of his situation - creating his own ride!
