starting over

thank you so much, DF, SO, chart, and TBB for your well wishes and your hugs.  they meant so much to me when i came here and saw them.  honestly, what a wonderful bunch of people.            

i think it went as well as possible for my D yesterday.  the woman who did the assessment seemed to get all the right notes out of my D's story and tears.  in the car afterwards, my D told me what went on, what each of them said, then asked me if i thought she could've said anything else - she had time to make additions by phone cuz the assessor wasn't going to turn her report in till today - and i was crying by that time, told her she couldn't have done better.  previously, i'd always had some little extra thing i thought should be included, but dang, i think she nailed it.

next she gets x-rays of her hands cuz her fingers still tingle and no one's ever been able to find the cause, but they are partially numb so even a cleaning job is out of the question cuz she can't exactly 'feel' things, hold things properly w/o extra exertion, etc.  that's later this week.  and she has one more of these things, i can't remember, to go thru, but she should know by march.  pins and noodles until then.

and i have a phone consultation w/ a T this morning, and i'm really nervous.

YES!!! 

Just in case... I had a mild version of tingling/pins and needles in my fingers and toes. It took me a very long time to link it to the multi vitamins I was taking. Even though I knew about it and specifically choose ones with a relatively low dose of B6 in it, it's highly likely to have been the culprit. No vitamin pills, no issues. When I take them again for a while, it starts again. Good luck with the consultation today!

Good luck with the phone consultation, San.

I hope the phone consultation went well.

And well done to your DD with her assessment.

interesting, SO, about the vitamins.  some people can tolerate some things, others can't at all.  we're marvelous as being different.  i'll let her know.  thank you for the info. 

thanks for your support, chart. 

thank you, NK - you made me smile!

the phone consult didn't go cuz it turned out she was in a different state.  the other T i contacted doesn't take insurance/medicare so that was also done before it began.  i emailed 2 other T's, in state, who, if i read it right, do take medicare, so we'll see what happens.  fingers crossed!  it's helpful now that a lot of them do zoom calls/televisists or whatever it's called.  hopefully, someone will check in with me.
