HI, My mom has fusion of the C3, C4, and C5 and has paralysis in both arms with her left hand very weak but some strength in her right hand. It has been two week and she has seen no progress. We are trying to keep her spirits up as she was very active before this surgery. Her first appointment is in 4 weeks seems like this is too long given the usunual case of both arms with palsy. So, We have researched a bit but are very very sad and concerned about our mom. She is 74 and not sure of the furutre. Any help..suggestions? Also what about occupational help...bathroom (Japanese toilet - self cleaning), how to get dressed. she does manage to eat... THanks for any advise help etc...
