O Buttons,
I know that feeling! I was sitting in a car waiting with a coworker to visit a client. I had a pen in my hand and was trying to operate it. I pulled it, I pushed it, I spun it over and over to the point of exasperation.

When all of a sudden as if in slow motion this hand reached over very slowly, and then the index finger of my coworker very surely pushed the button at the top of the pen..........and viola.........I was so absorbed in trying to get this pen to work, I forgot anyone was with me.

That was a very low day.
I'm glad to hear that you are getting relief from you symptoms.

And thank you too Rose,
I appreciate your comments.

I guess this is a long road to healing? Some of the damage may be irreversible? Is this true?

Meeting tomorrow with PT for a "gait rite" test- whatever that is.
Wish the neuro and pt could have spent the day with me, staggering around the office, vertigo, weakness, pain, spasticity and so on.........
ugh.
thanks for listening.

I hope you will make much progress. There is no way to know; it is a very individual thing. Just don't let anyone convince you that it must happen quickly or not at all. Improvements can take place over several years.

I also know the feeling. There was a time during my healing (as my brain was about to make a great leap of improvement a few years down the road ) when I would shuffle two bills over and over with my checkbook trying write two checks and get everything in the correct envelope.


Gait is how you walk.

Best wishes to you too.
