I was on the list before but was disconnected due to problems
with my IP. These problems have been solved. Now, if only my husband would get
better.
He is a T10 paraplegic, has severe cognitive problems,
amnesia, poor short term memory, orientation problems, and sleeps all the time,
even when he is up in his wheelchair. He was in hospital for 6 months and has
been home for 5 weeks. He was diagnosed with TM five months ago and has shown
little improvement. He has poor upper body strength so cannot assist with his
transfers. He has to be spoonfed as he cannot seem to use his cutlery anymore,
and his eyesight is almost gone.
I would appreciate any feedback from anyone who has recovered,
even partially from such problems.
Thank you all.
Wendy.
