Hey Texas, IMNew2Tx, too

My sister said the same thing-that seeing her MRI literally made her sick, it was so horrible to look at. FWIW, her surgery was last Monday, and she was home within 24 hours, it was that easy!!!! My mom couldn't believe they'd really send her home that quickly, but they did and my sis was up and moving around (albeit with a sore throat). AND she's already getting tingling sensations in areas that had been numb for a long time, indicating returning feeling already! As I indicated in another thread here, her neuro is now blowing off the six lesions found in her brain after finding the nerve compression in her neck, which I'm not sure is a good idea, but I guess she'll eventually know one way or the other, for better or worse, eh, if it's something more....

Good luck getting your herniation fixed! It's truly an amazing surgery. My sis had it done up in Chicago.
