How quickly i lost my ability to speak. Just wished that i had banked my voice. Too late and now I have to use a unfamiliar voice on my Tobii. Also the loss of strength and dexterity in my left side. Hate to have to rely on assistance getting up from the bed and the chairs in most restaurants.

I get the orthotic in 3 weeks. My left foot drags or drops when I walk. Hope it helps.
