Many thanks!
Scoop and TJ, thank you so much for sharing your stories and knowledge on the facility. Each time I speak to someone on the board and/or read about their experience, it helps me to see it in my mind and figure out what to do.
Looks like my lumbar has gone through some changes in the last seven years. I sure wish I understood the MRI better. I just got my copy of the report yesterday! It is such a puzzle figuring this out without a medical background and now I have reservations with trusting the doctors. It really impresses on me how important it is to get multiple opinions. Even with three the last time, it wasn't enough.
