Well, I can give you a short definition of Myelopathy -- it's any disease of the spinal cord or bone marrow. That doesn't say much does it.

Neuropathy is an abnormal and degenerative state of the nervous system or nerves. Oh goody.

Since many of us have neuropathy, I'm sure we all love to see THAT. To be honest, I'd never looked that up before. Good grief.

And your spinal cord looks like a bent straw? YIKES!! Yes, I'm surprised you're walking too! You're a MIRACLE! God is certainly watching over YOU.

Will you please keep us informed. I know that *I* want to know how you're doing!! I'm REALLY interested. I'll keep saying prayers. In the meantime, please take good care of yourself. God bless & hope to hear from you soon. Hugs, Lee
