I now have my book back from the editor and am reviewing on my computer and the editors are also showing why they suggest what they did so I have more reading then expected. Electronic transfer of large documents is new for me. Thankfully my husband has been very helpful in showing me how to work with different applications or be a trouble shooter for me when I need help. I already learned quite a bite from him so I am fairly independent but he is a help when needed..

I want to share a sensory system I learned through the research on this book. I never knew this one and how important it is.  

                             Somotasensory System

 This is the system that informs us about objects in our external environment through touch. It also let the brain know the position of the body parts (proprioception) through stimulation of muscles and joints. Another action of this system is to monitor the temperature of the body, external objects and environment. This system tells Chloe what is painful, itchy and tickling stimuli. All of these messages are sent along different anatomical pathways depending on information.

Chloe is being treated with serotonin to block pain receptors in the brain which help her put a bulging disc to a mild state in her neck and hopefully keep it there. She now is able to identify when she has pain. She is now working on her arms proprioception with swimming, exercise, typing and working at St. Vincent DePaul picking up, hanging up and straightening up the Thrift store. She is the” back seat driver” giving me directions to the usual places we go. Chloe now better connected with her body may make her personality change also. After patients go through accidents or whatever happens become paraplegic or quadriplegic their personalities undergo major changes because of not getting the feedback from their bodies anymore.
