WOW!!! Some how knowing you, I am not surprised to see this happening to you. You are a go-getter! This is really exciting to hear. I can really believe it because after 5 years with TM, I have never been as strong as I am now. Even family and friends notice when I walk. I don’t have much faith in the “2-years with TM is as good as it gets” theory. I have shown fairly steady improvement. I may have peaked now, but I can live with it. It just won’t stop me from trying more and more though.
You have been through so much, I am thrilled for you - pain or no pain.

I have been numb from T4 to toes since that time, except for a small area on my left thigh. On the 3rd of July,my cat ran toward me to jump into my lap. She missed, and in the process gave me 2 fairly deep scratches in my lower left leg. After being numb for all this time, I felt the pain of the scratches,and I can actually tell what is touching my entire left leg! I am amazed at this. It is something I never expected. I have an ulcer on the bottom of my right heel,and went to a wound clinic; doc ordered VNA for dressing changes. After being evaluated by nurse, she had PT and OT see me.I don't know if this is related or not. I never thought I'd be happy to have pain! I hope you are all doing well. Cheryl
