In seeing that there's been some comments and folks wanting to know how things are in 2014 (and now 2015), the good news is that the spine has remained completely issue free. The only reminder is the scars and somewhat more limited flexibility as before. Otherwise no pain, tingling, or otherwise. 5 years on now, life has moved on without any limitation or disability. Without a doubt this isn't everyone's result, but for me it has given 5 years of life that could have been entirely different.
Thank you for keeping the blog and the f/up. I'm grade 2 at 59yrs old and was very active till the last few years where I can't stand/walk more than 20min's without pain and needing to sit. It doesn't appear that any new surgical procedures have arrived to make that an appealing option, and so far, exercise isn't helping. Oddly, playing tennis does, which is so odd since it should make everything worse. I don't know where this well end for me but appreciate reading your experience.
