Richmond Magazine! That's great! My dominant side has been the unlucky one, too. Stinks. Legs arent too bad right now, only need a chair for amusement parks, airports, stuff like that. Right arm and hand is the worst - all this rain today and couldn't hold the umbrella for much. I go to Duke - have family in Durham that we stay with and love the neuro there. Do you do the walk in October?

Still working is good. I write for Richmond Magazine and can still keyboard (good thing there is spell check). Still driving and the hip flexors are making my walk pretty strange. Having to give up nice shoes is a bad deal..I always had a little bit of a shoe addiction. This damn thing seems to know which had is the dominant one!

Hello fellow Richmonder! Stinks to meet in this way. Slow progresser here too, mostly right arm and quads/hips. Still working full-time at MCV and live in Brandermill. As everyone here is, I'm here if you ever need an ear.
