Hi bill, we too are awaiting the actual report in the mail, I'd be interested to see if there are any similarities.
9 days post procedure and the pain and discomfort are all gone. Walking isn't any better but it seems like she is getting better in all the other areas. Simple tasks do not now wear her out (showering, starting a load of laundry, etc), she can sleep on her side for long periods of time with no pain in her legs, bladder is more under control, she's more alert. She used to have very regular recurring dreams where there was a pain going across the middle of her feet, has not had one since. When she is laying down, she says she can feel the blood in her neck pulsating, I assume lack of flow for who knows how many years it must feel different to have it flowing again.
She feels like she is getting a little better for the first time ever, it's been a slow decline for her the last 5 years, trying to temper excitement but were very happy right now with her decision to get this done.
Thank you again Dr Sclafani!!!
