I want to welcome you to Neuro Talk. Since I am 19mo.post C3-7 I did want to read your post. I have always been worried that something else would happen after the two surgeries I had. Jo Mar, said all I know too. There will be others that stop by and may be able to tell you better. The word "blooming" threw me, as I looked up some of the words, and didn't find it on line. Since some of this terminology is different, I will look it up more in depth too. Google in each phrase. It may be less confusing if you do that. I really hope that this is not serious for you. I sure know you don't want any more to go through. I will stay in touch, and look up some of this tonight. I do hope that this has a good outcome for you. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. ginnie
