Good morning:

I have surpassed stage 1 according to my dr's - I am starting to get
atrophy in my left side - The implant is a nero implant for pain
management. But they have said it might not work, so why go through
more surgery, I do not recover very well from the surgery's that i
have had. It has now shown up in my left side and it is really
becoming very difficult to use my hands to function on a daily
basis. They are amazed at how fast this is taking over on me.

It takes me long periods of time to type anything one keystroke at a
time where 8 months ago i typed 120 words a minute.

I am getting very frustrated with myself, I have a great support
person in my husband. Most people I know just don't understand and
beginning to feel alone.
