I know I have been gone awhile...

I hope yours never get as bad as this was nymph. Wouldn't wish it on anybody. For nearly six years I had it, at it's worst it would go right down to my left foot, and if I kept walking or standing my leg and foot would go numb yet with incredible pain. Something had to be done. The first surgery went okay but then a screw they put on my spine later came loose, thankfully BEFORE I was sent home. I was still in the hospital when I suddenly could no longer walk again. Over two agonizing weeks later a second surgery was done to fix it, but it left me gimpy.

Now I'm just hoping my ankle starts working again. Nerve damage can take up to 2 years to regen, so I may be walking with this cane for some time to come.
