I just read your other post. Let me know the date of your surgery and I will pray for you. Don't listen to negative stuff. I am going to bet on the 20% that you will be one of them and be OK. Have you gotten second and third opinions? Do your trust your Neuro surgeon? That good communication between patient and doctor is essential as you face this. I am glad you came here Shelley. Many of us have serious spinal issues as I mentioned, all of us will be in your corner.

I know you have a very serious condition. Just believe in the hope factor, and we all will be thinking about you. I was frightened too Shelley, and I don't think I could have gone through what I did without the help I received right here.

I am here to listen anytime. ginnie
