Jan 27
Met with Dr. Buckley yesterday and expressed my frustration. He reminded me this is a process and individual results can differ. He also reminded me to compare where i am to where i started- not where i want to be.
He provided several examples that progress is occurring:
1) i couldn't feel the laser heat on much of my feet during the initial assessment and on my palms during the early therapy sessions- now it is VERY light in places.
2) Early experiences/sensations were constant- and near the halfway point i have good hours and some not so good.
He also tempered my expectations that i might not realize full healing and no discomfort- but that i should accept that improvements have occurred and are occurring still.
I'm not radically enthusiastic about his answer, but i understand it. I can't even say he is wrong. I'm simply disappointed because in my mind, i had expected a near recovery by this point considering where i started and the last half of treatments were going to be about maintenance and health.
Because my fingers/toes feel different at different times of day, i should start annotating the time of the sampling. This pic represents feeling around 11:30AM.
