Dear Bob,
I'm am glad to hear that you are home and appear to be doing better. You have been through a lot, but you are a survivor! We have been keeping you and your family in our prayers. And, it is our hope that you continue to make progress. Unfortunately, I can't answer your questions about the numbness. This is something that I have not experienced.

Bob, My ladies at church this morning will be all a buzz. We’ve had you on our prayer list since you first started all this. Will keep you on for quite a while. The weakness is most likely from atrophy From being down so long. I had it too. The numbness? Could be a lot of things, BUT- I had the same…. With me it was particularly in my legs and outer side of thighs. My was caused by all of the time I had spent on my back. The pressure to points on my nerves Had ‘pinched,’ or sort of "mashed" them. As I got up a little more each week with my physical therapist It "Slowly" got better. My arm lost all feeling in my right hand from my middle finger Over to where thumb connects to wrist. That was from IV damage to my Ulnar Nerve. If you’ve had IV’s in both arms, nerves could be stressed And blocked from irritation close to main nerves there. Like I said, Could be many things, that was mine. Holler out if you need ANYTHING. So glad to hear you are home. There’s still much healing ahead for you, but it’s do-able. PM me with a mailing address if you will. I’ve got some letters and such I’d like to pass on. Hope & Pray you are doing better each week. Best Wishes- Dx
