Two year follow up MRI
« on: January 05, 2015, 09:24:27 pm »
As everyone is looking for good news stories......today I returned from my two year follow up MRI and all is good.  My doctor was pleased with all test results and want to see me again next year to have "another MRI done.  Was told five years after the surgery is the key point to where AN regrowth is highly unlikely......two down and three to go.  On the other side, my recovery is taking a bit longer than expected, but I'm in this for the long haul and will continue to get back as near normal as possible.

No I don't have those issues, but I have balance, stiff neck and head pressure that I thought would have been gone by now.  The head preasure only comes occasionally when I'm walking.
