Darryl,

Just a few words to let you know that you are still in my prayers and my church is praying for you also.

I have had such great relief following surgery - but I must say that I expected to recover much quicker. When you are dealing with the spinal cord and nerves it can take up to two years or longer for them to heal depending on how long and how hard the nerves and cord have been compressed (and other factors) - I am still seeing progress 10 months following surgery.

I am 50 years old so you should recover much faster than I did. I didn't worry about pain following surgery because hospitals make sure you have good pain relief - no matter what and I have had severely chronic pain since 1998 so pain doesn't scare me. For me it is about being able to move and work and walk around. I would like to stay mobile and active as long as possible.

As soon as you can post following your surgery please let us know how you are doing.

God has many angels watching over you!
