Vicky, this is such wonderful news. I've followed your story for so long. Some of the talks we've had have been so difficult because I know what it's like to still be in so much pain after surgery. (Remember that my successful surgery was my 3rd.) I have seen others with late recoveries such as yours and they come from a wide veriety of reasons.

You mentioned cutting pain meds in 1/2. Can you describe a transition in your depression level? Did your depression decrease before the pain, with the pain, or after the pain decreased?

I'd like to learn more about the postural issues... I do know several people with unexplained failures. This is very exciting stuff for quite a few people I know. My guess is that you'll be hearing from more than a few.

All the best... let's talk soon.

Mark
