Encouragement

I'm so glad you can drive. I would be able to drive in a modified car. Even though I don't have one, just knowing that my eyes, hands, and arms still work is reasurring. My loss, though called "incomplete", is so thorough that there's nothing to "rehab", so I have no stories for you.

I am 26 mos post surgery now. I have found that periodically I will plateau for a bit. This would scare me into thinking I had hit my limit but now I know its just what happens. I did find that some meds did slow me down, mostly muscle relaxants that i needed for a time for spasms. its hard to work on strengthening when the meds are relaxing. Once I was able to stop those, progress continued. PTandOT was great helping me not get discouraged, pointing out continued small increments of improvement. Its rough , set reasonable goals for yourself.
