Good luck Mimi.
Clavel performed a three level lumbar on me two months ago using two M6s. I can't describe just how good I'm feeling. I just got back from the gym, put in 2.5 miles on Stairmaster and then did chest and tris. And finally, thank God, my knee and even thoracics are starting to NORMALIZE!
I am very thankful, walk carefully with gratitude in my heart, muttering praises to God as I drive or walk around. Almost starting to forget how bad it was before but not really. I remember.
I remember what it was like being a prisoner, not being able to use a chair, drive a car, etc.
Am glad you are taking steps,to getting your life back. What a devastating fall that was. Were you in a chair when you fell?
