Crazy Will it ever get better?

Hi, My name is Becky Lopez. I am 58 years old and my life changed in November 2010 when I was told I had a tumor on my spine. I had surgery and my doctor removed a 4" tumor that had blocked my spinal canal by 90%. After surgery I had to learn how to walk again. I am very blessed because I was told I could have been paralyzed from the neck down. I am walking now, most of the time with out my walker in the house, and with my walker when I leave. I can not drive due to the neuropathy in legs and feet. I also have neuropathy in my right arm. First I was told it would take two years for the nerves to grow back together from the surgery. (That was due to the 91/2" incision down the middle of my back.) Now I believe it is from the nerve damage from the tumor that was blocking my spinal canal. I would like to know if this is as good as it gets. It is the not knowing that is driving me crazy.
