KC,
Everyone posting previously has expressed my thoughts and feelings in some way. I am sorry to hear of your pain, very sorry, and would be lying if I said it didn't cause me personal concern and pause 7 months after my own MVD surgery. It saps some of my positive energy, that's for sure.
I can only offer my sincerest support and understanding ( as best I can) to you as you have given to others.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Rick
