Seriously good night!

I've had some unusual things happen to me since treatment began. After my 1st liver resection in July 08 I was kept in a drug induced coma for several days. The surgery lasted 13.5 hours and was very extensive. The anesthesiologist kept me sedated, even though the surgeon wanted to wake me. Well, I had the worst care known to man in surgical ICU. I was on a breathing machine and I'm told the nurses let my ileostomy bag burst several times, they also failed to give me my meds on schedule. So I kept partially waking up. Each time I did I would remove the breathing tube. Well, I guess the nurses got angry at me for them not doing their job and they restrained me. Well, they let me wake again and I broke the restraints and removed the breathing tube. Then they really tied me down. They tied me so tight that I've had compressional neuropathy ever since. I have not had any feeling other than an occasional intense shooting pain in my thumb, 1st, and middle finger, on both hands. The pain was severe at first but has lessened in the past few months. Theer has been some annoying aspects of this neglect. I haven't been able to feel my son's hair or skin since july. My ring and pinky fingers still have feeling but they don't seem to be as sensitive as I remember my other fingers to have been. Typing has been extremely difficult. Removing things from my pockets is a task. If there are two or more things in my pocket I have to remove everything in my pocket to retrieve what I'm looking for. My fingers can't distinguish different items. I could have a key and a cotton ball in there and I couldn't tell one from the other without looking at them. I like tinkering with things but that has become impossible. Anyway, to the point of this post. While in the hospital in feb I saw a special on one of the health channels about paralyzed patients and the things Drs were doing to help them. One treatment being tried to regrow nerves was fairly simple. They would decrease the temperature of the effected limb and then pass a current through the tissue. This technique has helped completely paralyzed limbs to function again. So for the last few days I have been treating myself in a similar manner. I have been soaking my left hand in ice water until I can't handle it any longer, then I have been passing a current through my middle finger with a TENS unit. With only four 20 minute sessions I have regained about 50% of the feeling in my left middle finger. I was feeling really good about myself so earlier tonight I soaked my left hand in ice water and then tasered my left wrist, thumb, and 1st finger. I felt an instant sensation in my fingers and thumb. I think my thumb and 1st finger are about 10-20%. I'm going to keep working on getting them better. If all goes well, I should be able to start on my right hand soon. I am right handed. Tonight, before I went out I put my wallet, money, keys, and placker in my front left pocket. When I got home, I was able to reach in and pull out my keys without having to remove everything. That felt pretty good. Maybe soon I'll be able to do that with both hands. Now I just have to figure out how to regrow the tip of my nose. The nurses ripped part of my nose off while they were "caring" for me. But that's another story.
