Hi Helen, I'm sorry you didn't get as positive news as you would have liked.
Sometimes these types of things take a while. And, I guess you kind of knew that it wasn't quite back all the way if you were having pain when typing on the computer. I know what you mean about long drawn out appointments. Sorry all that stuff happened and I will pray that the next appointment is uneventful. I'll keep praying that you have full recovery.
