I cannot tell you how grateful I am that you posted. I really do feel so much better.
I know this has to be done---paralysis is a real possibility if I don't have surgery.
Fortunately, for me, the deterioration of my legs isn't as bad as in your case. But, if I don't get this done, it will be. I haven't lost control of my bladder or bowels, but the increasing numbness in my groin is a definite signal that it's heading in that direction, in my very uneducated opinion.
Again, I appreciate your post more than you know. I've been on a roller coaster with this whole thing---being so grateful and happy that an "answer" has finally be found, then being smacked in the face with the reality of the whole thing. Hearing from you--someone who has been through all of this, even more in your case--and knowing your outcome, gives me such a sense of hope for my own future.
I still ask anyone else to share their experience with me. Thank you so much!
