To Arnie, I can't resist replying I should have guessed you'd end up
condescending and judging. E.M.

Thank you, Tamar, for giving Ellen that good advice to be proactive (and I would add, to ask her loved ones to be proactive on Ellen's behalf) - our health care system responds to the squeaky wheel, and it neglects those who
don't push for more attention and better care.
I would also suggest getting a referral to a physical therapist to assess your condition, Ellen, and perhaps figure out exercises you could be doing my regularly that would preserve and improve your physical capacities.
Hang in there, Ellen.

That said, my opinion is that you need a second opinion. From a different set of doctors, in a different hospital.
Tell them someone else suggested it might be ischemic, and _ask_ what they think. Also ask what their Plan is for the continuing weakness and lack of use of the leg. Be sure to use the word "plan" - I hear that it has significant meaning in a medical context.
This all advice I have seen for getting past the blinkers and egos.
