Peggy, I should have read your post prior to e-mailing Liz, sounds like we
are on the same page or have had the same experiences..That is too funny,
poor Liz is now inundated with the same info, oh well, better than none.
I have a couple questions for you..As I am due to have surgery on 12/07 by a
Neuro and a Neuro Vascular surgeons, I am wondering how long were you in the
hospital? I am disabled due to severe back issues, live alone and walk with
a cane. Will I be able to manage right away by myself? It sounds like you
feel the surgery helped, what are the few things you stated you would have
to learn to live with,if you don't mind my asking? How long before you felt
that your arm was healed?
I appreciate your direction to the other site also, it never hurts to get as
much info as possible..
Thanks in advance for your patience in answering my questions...
Kathy
