So annoying we can't add pictures.

I have a 30-40 year old toilet handle that is all metal. The part securing the handle from the inside of the tank is metal with 2 'prong' like pieces screwed onto the front piece. I have tried all the tools in my box to get it off and it is really on there. Any suggestions to unscrew it? I know most more current handles are reverse threaded, so that's the way I'm twisting, but now wondering if the really old ones maybe weren't reverse?

Husband is 9 weeks into an ischemic stroke that severely affected his language and comprehension. He's so fearful of having another stroke. He has carotid web surgery on a week and we both hope that helps his anxiety some.

But I was thinking today... He hasn't laughed since before the stroke. His typical joking personality hasn't shown itself and I'm wondering if anyone else went through a long stretch of negativity and sadness, but came out?

Considering getting a Honolulu, J2CR and wanted to see if anyone had that specific shape AND either a Hurache or Engage Alpha Pro they could take a pic side by side to compare? TIA
