I am so glad to hear that your doctor was able to make some prgress, even if not all that he (or you) had hoped for. I will keep you in my thoughts and hope that you will post with updates as often as you are able.
I can't say often enough to everyone here how much updating your stories on this message board or on the quilt means to those of us that are looking for help and hope. I understand that people do get better and get on with their lives but THOSE especially mean the most to the rest of us!
Hugs to all,
