Spell out what Bobby?  Basically my situation is this:  I am a right hemi
with my arm being more effected than my leg in terms of spasticity.    I
also have epileptic seizures.

A friend here in Olympia suggested a TES ubtit after noticing my fingers go
loose after a small shock right on my wrist.  This effect lasted a few
minutes and really made us all wonder about long-term effects of this should
my therapist and doctor approve it.

More background: I have had virtually no therapy since I was about 10 until
recently.  I had surgery on my legs twice now.  Once was as a child when was
6-7(tendon transfers) and the other was just last year.  The one last year
was very successful and my leg is much less spastc then before and will go
past 90 degrees, which was the goal before surgery.

I don't know if this is any of the information you were hoping for.  Let me
know more specifically what you are wanting to find out from me so you can
give me information to share with the therapist.

Thanks,
Dave
