Thread: WOO HOOO!!!!!

Had my three months check up with the Neurosurgeon on Monday.

He is astounded by my recovery and has given me permission to
drive again!!! Gradual increase in time of driving and difficulty but
at least in HB there won't be many problems.

One thing I had noticed in the 12-18 months prior to the NPH diagnosis
was a decrease in my general strength, and particularly my grip. This has
improved dramatically, especially the grip. The other day, for instance,
|I had to extract a bag full of stuphph from the car. It was convenient for
me to use my left hand, palm up, and grasp the bag between my fingers.
No trouble at all. When I related this to the doc. he said that this was a
remarkable recovery indeed. as hand strength usually takes some time
to improve.

I guess the fact that Ana took control and the treatment took place relatively
early in the course of the problem is the reason for the rapid recovery of
physical symptoms. The brain still has a few minor problems, but I'm getting
there..
