Pepi,

I did not realize your herniation includes protrusion into the spinal

cord.....that does need to be operated on, and I do think you would recover

well with that....we were talking apples and oranges here, sorry for the

misunderstanding....get yourself taken care of soon, Jane on our list had it

Hugs,

Marta
