Guest guest Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Well at least he did get a Dx, so many go for years in limbo, getting "the word" isn't great, but knowing is better then not knowing. I hope his surgery goes well and is totally succesful. ~*~Hugs~*~ ~*~Akiba~*~ -- Today's appointment... So today was ’s neurosurgeon appointment. The doctor confirmed that it is MS. He also scheduled ’s neck surgery for July 23rd. They are going to remove cartilage and widen the spine. Then put bone in and fuse it. There are no guarantees that this will improve ’s mobility. It will take two to three months after the surgery to even see if it helped. His MS is kicking his butt right now. He is exhausted. Poor man. http://countermanfamilynews.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I hope it's some relief to at least have a Dx, and to have the surgery scheduled. I have a friend who had such a surgery about 10 years ago, and he was back to heavy weapons fighting, archery, and blacksmithing within the year. Prayers that has a similar outcome! in WY Practical Blackwork Designs " You get a wonderful view from the point of no return...

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Sharon,            is doing better than I expected. He is having a tough time accepting his limitations. He is used to going and doing.            I am used to being a care taker. My mother is ill and lives with us. My father passed away two years ago and he lived with us and I took care of him. http://countermanfamilynews.blogspot.com/    From: MSersLife [mailto:MSersLife ] On Behalf Of Sharon Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2010 8:31 PM To: MSersLife Subject: Re: Today's appointment...
