Hi @sunnyflower I appreciate your comments. I have a different outlook on the matter. The doctors told my family I was not going to make it but I pulled through. I know it is a difficult surgery. It is very disabling but I am grateful to still be alive. Not much is medically known so I don’t expect much. That is why I learn to help myself. I have lost faith in our medical system because I feel it is like an assembly line. Doctors have to follow guidelines set for them and thereby cannot treat as they would like. Thank you! I take each day at a time. We never know what the new day will bring. Toni
