Thank you all! I am trying my best to push for quick action but can only move at the specialists snails pace which is driving me bonker. Thank you for Shari g what you did that worked for you! It's ironic that you mention mirror therapy as I just brought that up at my dr apt on Monday and he acted as though I were off my rocker. to me it had sounded promising. I think perhaps I should find a different dr but time is not on my side and I know that.
