                        Update on my injury.  Start to work Mon., 3/20.  While I was off work post surgery I was selected for a promotion.  So...here I am with my bum right arm/hand, beginning a new job--talk about stressful--clumsy dominant hand and everything about the job new.  So far everyone has been supportive, especially my new boss.  Thank God for spell check--I still have such limited sensation that most words are only partially spelled out.  I'm slow so I stay about an extra hour to hour and a half just to be somewhat, but not compoletely, current on my work.  After a week, that first Friday was awful--my hand felt like I had touched a hot burner--the sensation was terrible and it felt like ice picks were being shoved up each finger.  Neurologist said it is good--more regeneration.  This lasted for 4 days.  Then went away but now I have very limited feeling in the palm of my hand.  I cannot distinguish what is touching it--like a pin, marker, spoon, or piece of soap. BUT I can feel something is there!!!  Again, Thanks for all of your responses.  What would I have done if there was no web?  Email me at FrancieMR@aol.com if any of you need to talk--I know how much it helps.  I'm so glad that things are moving in a positive way and I probably will not need surgery.  After the "accident" that happened with my last surgery, I don't know I could have handled the emotional turmoil of having another one.  Fran
