Default Make Today a Great Day!

Good afternoon and thanks for taking the time you do to try and help all individuals. Information about my problems from those who have experienced it will be worth its weight in gold.
53 year old female who was walking 4 miles a day three years ago. An adrenal pheo tumor sidelined me and I lounged in a hospital bed for over a month before surgery where they removed the 5 lb tumor we jokingly called Quatro!
Seems like I never recovered. Had problems with energy and walking. After nine months of this and my SCREAMING to five doctors we discovered I have a 20 inch long arachnoid cyst anterior on my spinal cord. Surgery twice, first just puncture and draining, second at Mayo in May this year where a permanent shunt is placed. Keep your fingers crossed. I do feel some relief problem is my lower extremities still are suffering from the nerve damage, pain and balance problems. Has anyone had this problem?
