You're really getting it with both barrels, aren't you? I hope you have a good relationship with & faith in your husband's doctors. All of you will need to have the best of relationships to work out & work for his best interests.

I'm guessing here that perhaps Periferal Neuropathy is what's robbed your feet of feeling, but if I'm wrong please post back & straighten me out. If it is PN, here's a link to the NT Forum: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum20.html

You can find lots of good information here in links & sticky notes. You might find familiar stories in the posts, & you can start threads of you own in any of the forums, e.g., ask how to get used to auto hand controls. Perhaps the most valuable thing here, tho, is the one-on-one peer support that let's you know--always--that you're not alone. Ask questions, tell us what you need, vent if you need to (we've got a great emoticon for that)--we will hang in with you throughout this & be there for/with you in any way we can.

Take good care, and keep coming back.
