> I still have numbness in the fingers of the left hand

After my last disk surgery, I lost most of the feeling in my right leg
fropm the knee down to the foot. :P Strangely, Fortunately, I have one
little spot right near the ball of my foot that I can still feel. Without
that It'd be very hard to be sure I was even on the kick pedal!

Unfortunately, that same little spot (where I can feel pressure ) feels
just like a pebble in my shoe when I walk! ::sigh:: Pretty annoying, but
I guess I'll get used to it. It's only been six months.... :)
