Lefty, thanks. From what my gp said these problems are going to
continue for some time. I'm seeing a neurosurgeon the end of this
month. In the meantime, I have a rehab person coming in to offer
modification suggestions for all areas of my lifestyle on Tuesday. It
is a huge change for me. I have been in denial hoping it would just go
away but it hasn't. There's been a lot of other things going on and I
really just didn't want to deal with it. I'm determined this is not
going to interfer with my cooking but have conceded that some changes
will be necessary.
