Default Another Bump in the Road

Hello, All. I hope all are coping well. I haven't been on the MG site for over a year. MG for quite a few years. Still taking Mestinon and Imuran. Still working after military and civil service retirements. I go in August 6th for a three-vertabrae cervical fusion. I had a lumbar disc removed just before Desert Storm, but deployed anyway. I had polio as a twelve-year old. The neurosurgeon says my cervical degeneration is either due to genetics or a lifetime of tremendously hard work. I opted for the hard work. I do not believe any of my maladies are connected to each other. I have learned to just cope as best as possible and keep going. (Don't like the alternative).

First of all - THANK YOU for your service!

I hope your surgery goes smoothly and brings you some relief. Be sure your anesthesiologist knows you have MG. They do 'special stuff' for MG'rs.

Please let us know how everything went when you are able after the surg. Good Luck!
