Bob,

So glad to hear of your good outcome.

For me, it was a decade of spinal surgeries with 3 discs removed from my neck before the fact that I wasn't getting any better made me go to Mayo Clinic. Although it was never said outright, they found that I'd had MS for 15 or 20 years already---. Some, maybe all, of the surgeries and fusions were moot points. My symptoms were POSSIBLY never spine and neck related in the first place. But MS was never ever considered!

My frustration comes from the tunnel vision of medical specialists who refuse to see a larger picture than the limited confines of their own expertise.

Shoot--yeah, Deck. Always better when ya take off the blindfold. Some docs need their own eye exams.       Tw
P.S. Congrats. The word relief probably doesn't even begin....

Thanks for sharing that with us Bob. I'm glad the result was so positive and that you have kept your sense of humor through it all.

(Spaw, you are a rotten git *GRIN*)

It only took a few weeks to diagnose and treat your problem; you are quite lucky. They (THE QUACKS) were treating Lou for months for obesity and poison ivy when she was dying from Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.

They would put her on one starvation diet after another, and you know, not one of them ever reduced that tumor.

I don't know about a song, but I think that you and SharonA should make a movie about that bubble.

GOOD NEWS, BUT YOU SHOULD GET YOUR EARS CHECKED.
