...He had better take his time talking to me and listen. If he "pops in and out" I may just lose my calm disposition. wish me luck.

Ok, so it went VERY WELL> this doctor is the neurosurgeon that was recommended to me by friends. ... first a bit of back story.
I have been diag. with MS for 13 years next month. I started using a cane 12 years ago, 10 years ago I moved to fore-arm crutches, 7 years ago I moved to a manual chair 70% of the time. 4 years ago I fell while in the shower and compressed L-5 - S-1 in my lower spine. This caused sig. impingement on my spinal cord. I wasn't given any hope to ever walk again (gee, I wonder why I hate doctors) anyway this is the first time seeing a neuro since then. This doc says he wants to do a surgery [next Friday] to replace two of my disc's with artificial, fuse the spine and take the pressure off of my nerve roots. he said 80% chance I can walk again (after lots of rehab and p.t.) so, March 7 I am going under the knife, I have never had surgery but am not too nervous about it. Thanks for your prayers which I know you sent. GOOD DAY!!! finally..
