Thanks for all the replies and the support! Tasty, you didn't turn me off! I'm here to learn.
One little success I have. The AV spoke this morning when thinking about the weekend and what I was going to do. I said to myself, 'Can the Beast make me raise a finger?" and I looked at my hand. No movement! Only I can raise my finger. I have control.
Looking forward to the weekend and I'm sure I will have more questions because I expect the Beast to be vocal.
I'm so glad I found this forum!
