I woke up last night sleeping on my back and could not feel my right arm from the shoulder all the way down. I tried to move it and it would do nothing. I picked my right arm up with my left arm and laid it on my belly trying to see if it had just gone to sleep or whatever. It was the strangest feeling I have ever had. The arm wasn't asleep, just like it no longer was there. Kind of gave me an idea of what it might be like down the road.
After rubbing it for over an hour I very slowly began to get feeling and movement back in it. I can't figure out if it was nerve related, or just what, but another new symptom to think about I guess. As I type this it's about 5 hours later and the only residual effect I see is a lot of swelling in the hand.
It got me to thinking how much I rely on my right arm to lift, move, and do so many things. It's like losing a close friend to consider that this may happen for good sometime in the future. I'm thankful that the use of my arm did return.
I have so much to be thankful for and just take it for granted most of the time.
God Bless
