May 19, 2012 – Sensations Returning

One of the many things that I lost at the time of the TM onset is the ability for me to feel anything from my waist down.  As an example, if you tried to tickle my feet I would not feel it.  Or if you ran your hand across any part of my leg or lower back and stomach, I would not feel you touching me.  I did, however, feel touch if you applied a great deal of pressure but it was not the same as if I applied pressure to your leg and you felt that I were squeezing you.  I, on the other hand, felt the sensation of pins an needles at the point of where pressure was being applied.

NR:  For the past several weeks, I have noticed that normal sensations are returning.  I haven’t mentioned this previously because the moments when I noticed certain sensations passed so quickly that I was actually unsure of what I was feeling.   It wasn’t until the other day that I dropped the charger for my scooter chair on the pinkie toe of my right foot and yelled out a curse word that I was 100% sure that I felt something – HA!

  1. I have finally read through your story photos and blog. I have an ache in my heart because I so wish I could have been there for you through the last two years. I am so grateful to all those people that were able to be there for you from family, friends, nurses, drs, pts, coworkers. They are all a gift from God. You however are the bravest and most determined person I have ever met. Your strength comes straight from God, but your unending faith in Him comes from that huge heart of yours. Thank you so much for this blog. I know it’s not only for me, but it makes me feel so much closer to you, even though I’m so far away. I love you girl.
