I always wonder where do these medical issues come from....were they here when our grandparents etc were here and no one knew of why they were ill? Much progress made is good. A young gal I play Bunco with has the palsy and has made progress in 4 months or so. Don't think she has a support group, just us!!! Best Wishes.

Love that top, love the layout and love the idea of a serious R&D partner who is prepared to lay herself on the line and drink gin with you :D I am sure your post will help to raise awareness of such a worthwhile cause. Have you put it on FB as well? I'd be happy to share it if so, though I am a bit a a klutz with FB so things often pass me by ... xxx<br />Annie Claxtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05388444203672449777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-37877492172629692222018-07-02T10:03:19.979+01:002018-07-02T10:03:19.979+01:00Thank you for educating me about something I had n...Thank you for educating me about something I had no knowledge of.

It is brave of you to discuss it but it is the only way you help not only yourself but others.

You are an inspiration and I'm not at all surprised that you have made such a good recovery - and I have no doubt at all that you will continue to improve as time goes on - especially with the Research & Development Jan is undertaking with you :) Hugs, Elizabeth xxElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05762785911026167332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-66193742271588614652018-07-01T19:10:40.756+01:002018-07-01T19:10:40.756+01:00You are the strongest and most resilient person I ...You are the strongest and most resilient person I know. I am SO sure this will help raise awareness to some, as I was fortunate enough to look the condition up when you were first diagnosed. From your adorable selfie, I can tell you are already far better than you were right after surgery.<br /><br />I was going to suggest I would offer you a straw even before I saw the photo of you and Jan. I keep them because I have practically no neck and can only lean my head back so far before I get a glass full of liquid in my face.<br /><br />SO glad you used your blog to raise awareness today. After all, many of us read your blog, they just don't comment.

Takes me a couple of dozen before I find one that's barely acceptable,lol. So good to see how far you've come, and you are right, a determination to get better is key. Nerve trauma is a bugger though. I still have it, and reckon now I always will, down my left leg, and from my bladder. But still, I'm here, and people manage with far worse issues.<br /> Lots of love & hugs, Shaz XxXshazsilverwolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16274746581731544287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-77110280036774975022018-07-01T11:02:47.501+01:002018-07-01T11:02:47.501+01:00Hi Julia, Well done you for putting your selfie u...Hi Julia, Well done you for putting your selfie up, even though you don't like showing yourself off.
