...Linda, I love and admire your fighting spirit :)<br /><br />I've never heard of using botox for this problem, but it's an interesting concept--and I love the name you've given your arm :)<br /><br />I know all about the "uncooperative arm" from watching my mother after her stroke. I wish she'd had at least 1/2 of your fighting spirit, but she just gave in...<br /><br />Keep the faith, I'm cheering you on, as you continue through your recovery to be the best you can be :) Best wishes always!maddie/cadesmimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08728528124103014286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-909082640346689518.post-57366000250297075312012-04-02T15:37:51.968-05:002012-04-02T15:37:51.968-05:00You continue to enlighten us on all the challenges...You continue to enlighten us on all the challenges that one might face after a stroke, but you do so with such grace and humor that I find myself in awe of you. You truly are an inspiration. I hope the botox works and lasts longer that usual so you can get that hand to behave.

I guess that is the only way to treat an incident where your husband has to come into the ladies room to pick you up off the floor. As for the arm in the underwear, well, been there done that, although I had more problems with my misbehaving left leg which occasionally flings out unexpectedly even today. <br /><br />I have grab bars everywhere and thank God the stoke was on the left side as I am right-handed. My left leg is still a bit weak and I am prone to have falls so I have learned to hang onto things. <br /><br />My left arm is almost normal, although I am not very strong on that side. My little finger gives me fits from time to time, as you might note when I hit the wrong key on the left side of the keyboard. Typing has helped me rebuild my finger strength. <br /><br />At least I don't drool out of the side of my mouth anymore. I did throw my cell phone in the toilet the other week, however.<br /><br />Laughter is the best medicine.<br /><br />My best to you.

Interesting device. <br /><br />Maybe I should have botox on the right side of my face, because Bell's Palsy has cramped it. When I had my first BP episode in 2004, I had to have an MRI done of my brain to rule out a stroke.
