Well been a whole week now.
My cervical cortex was compressed to the point I had poralissis(so?)
To the point I had lost almost all feeling from.the waist down. And had lost the ability to walk.
Both arms numb, both hands major loss of strength and dexterity.
Hands also feel like bro g shocked 24/7.
And 24/7 pain in Neck like stabbed by knife.with 24/7 head ache

Not I can feel my feet, do what I am going to make a stretch and call walk with help.
And type with one finger.
Do know how much is permanent nerve damages till later after recovering
Told recover 4 months and get another surgery. Don't know for 4 months.
Or of all goes well 9 to 12 months recover from just the 1st surgery.
So wanted to thank the crew of misfits here who gave emailed, texted and called me.
One of with was/ is Doc Fibberglass for the crazy and encouraging phone calls to keep my spirts up. The list of member's who have is long
signed by the one finger typist .

Sometimes recovery can be long. Mine took close to year. Good luck and wish you well.
