Tue 17-Nov-09 (nerve problems)

While Maria struggles with ongoing numbness and tingling problems predominantly in her left leg, I seem to have picked up a pain issue overnight. It could be my sciatic (pronounced 'sy-attic') nerve. I have been playing "dodge ball" with the kids each afternoon for the past 2-3 days, so perhaps it's related (or just old age). This pain issue started back in Israel some time between Maria's first surgery and our return home. The pain has been on-and-off. In fact, this is the worst it has been since we've been back.

Getting onto more important topics, Maria is still plagued by balance issues and a terribly sore back (all over). She'll receive some massage tomorrow, so we'll see what transpires from that. She may need to get back in contact with the physio who saw her a while ago for unrelated issues.
