Thanks for asking Newhere,
my breathing problem will remain the same. I thought a neurosurgeon could fix it , but when it came down to scheduling surgery, he said it was too dangerous and he could make it worse . So I am stuck with only 50%lung capacity, There is a surgery i can have (maybe ) on my diaphragm muscle which will improve my lung capacity by possibly 10%. My pulmonologist said that is in the future.
For now i will try to lessen my lumbar pain by injections and now i found out i need surgery on my big toe (it is arthritic and causing lots of pain). I will be back on crutches for a little while. Always something
