I am so blessed. You know my mom and dad's bishop paid for me to have this treatment and it is not cheap. Maybe I have misjudged the Mormon church. That was very generous. I feel kind of dumb and embarrassed about it. I guess I shouldn't but I am (I guess was) a proud person.

So happy that this step, while exhausting, seems to have been a positive step in your recovery process. I'm not a neurologist but from what I have studied you are most likely correct in that the mini strokes would account for your left side being more affected. The good news is that treatment for this is becoming more advanced all the time.
You have the right to feel proud, and one of the important lessons I learned in my recovery is that love, compassion, and the desire of others to help is still alive, and is a testament to the human spirit.
Hopefully the findings of the assessment help in the identification of specific therapies that will move you along in your recovery. That was my experience. The very best to you in this continued journey.
