Got my results back today and ALL GOOD!!! No regrowth. No change. Feel like I have won the lottery!
Once again the specialist commented and showed my how incredibly thin my spinal cord is between T2 and T5 - it is just a thin strip. Then he said, "But if it is working, why worry." I find this comment both cheering and scary at the same time for it suggests that normally I should worry. The day after the operation he did not think I would be able to move my right leg. It was a battle to get the leg to behave properly but it does now. I just hope it just doesn't stop one day and be told, "Well, it was a wonder that it ever did work."
But for now all is good. So here's Cheers to Recovery!

Two and a half years later I am still here and recently had another clean MRI. Surgeon still stopped when he got to the resection point on the MRI and looked at me and said 'It is amazing that you can move your legs.' It always seems to baffle him and he looked back at the image considering it, and then came out with the line, 'But, hey if it is working, why worry.' Trouble is I always worry more after that. Especially when I fall over which seems to happen with more frequency these days.

Well Folks, it is that time again. Off for a MRI tomorrow. Legs get more and more dodgy. But still hanging in there. Has anyone seen this clip from the film Limelight by Charles Chaplin? The leg scene sums me up when I stand up!! And a good message - play on no matter what happens! www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPRW1VQxmTs

Hello Folks, apparently I'm cured. One more MRI in two years and then freedom. No more expensive scans. Now just got to stay away from the Corona Virus.
