Thanks Annie! Living in the moment has been something I've practiced since reading The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle back in 2005 I think. It is the only way I know to truly enjoy life, even in the hardest times. It takes a lot of practice but is worth it.
Loss of bowel control due to sciatica is not TMI. It's a serious complication called Cauda Equina. For those reading this, please look this condition up so you know the symptoms. If anyone experiences this, get to the ER. It's a very serious form of sciatica that involves loss of bowel control.
And I agree Annie, Mayo Clinic Connect is a great way to share and receive information. I've been on it for about 4 years now, particularly in Joint Disease and Replacements, or somethng like that!
All the best to you Annie! Your spirit is indomitable!
Joe
