Holly, how wonderful to see you back here! When I saw your name and your lovely, familiar picture, I was literally moved to tears. Your condition sounds anything but wonderful, but you are so much better than a week ago, and your strong spirit and (dare I say British?) grit will carry you through.
I can imagine how hard it is to type with one finger, and I think you said your left hand is your non-dominant hand, which makes it even harder. Mark, my sympathies on the scary experience you and your dog had. Fortunately, it sounds like you are OK, though I'm sure your experience was terrifying in its own right. Holly can dictate an email orally, but apparently not into this forum. I am more than happy to receive her messages that way and forward them to the whole group. Starsong does it also. It only takes a second. So Holly, don't feel you have to keep struggling to type until you are up to it. You don't need one more problem.
Keep on getting better, friend. And thanks for answering so many of the questions we all have about this. It does sound as if you are getting some help, but IMO not enough. Too bad all of us can't go to London, march into the health social services office, and raise hell. Your friends on this forum would be a force to contend with.
