That's a lot to think about, and a lot to say.
I'm really proud of you and happy for you. Your head is in a good place, it seems. Know you have my support 100%.
Plus, you get a big ol' bon voyage party.
The awesome thing is, your life can resume free of the limbo baggage, yet you don't have to give up your NT membership - best of both worlds.
The only other thing I can say is that spinal disorders are just like anything neuro; they too can present some pretty peculiar sx that doctors are not going to acknowledge as being possible.
And that said, on with the party! Open up the bar, and munchies are on me!
