i just got back from my neurosurgeon. the great news is that I'M NOT GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE SURGERY!!!
here's where we (and by "we", i mean "me") stand. i've got physical therapy twice a week for a while. i'm also continuing on my anti inflammatory medication for a month or so.
and, wait for it....I GET TO GO TO D.C. FOR THE INAUGURATION!!
my "walking ban" has been lifted but i'm not allowed to bend over or carry anything over 5-7 pounds. also, my doc said she was surprised that i wasn't screaming in pain because my mri was, and i quote, "impressive".
(it's, apparently, a new injury unrelated to the car accident that i had at 18. in other words, bad genetics will get you every time.)
k, i'm going to do a modified dance now. you know, the kind that doesn't require lifting.

I had no idea but happy to hear things are n the up.
I hope you start to feel better soon.
no problem, anthony. (i tend to play things *fairly* close to the vest so there's no reason why you should have known! ;D)
thanks, brit! i think things are going to be ok! i've got most of the sensation back in my right calf this morning! :D!
Congratulations on your spine being better than suspected!
thank you!!
it's 6-8 weeks of physical therapy and i'm *not* going to be slacking off during that!
I'm so glad to hear you're improving and do not need surgery. Hooray!!
thanks, mary!!
this snow has me kinda' home bound again though. i don't really trust myself walking on the ice that's buried underneath.
