meA few years ago my mom had major lower back surgery. Three of her discs were removed and was told she would most likely never walk again.

A few months later she was walking her way to Vietnam and even came to visit us. Her left thigh is completely numb which hasn't stopped her one bit.

Nevertheless, the surgery has been deemed a failure. Some of her remaining discs have shifted, and fragments from one of her herniated disc are preventing the healing process.

To make the matter even worse, she called to let me know that she can no longer walk and is pretty much paralyzed. Drugs don't seem to help very much either.

She has an appointment with France's foremost back expert next Friday and will hopefully find out more then. But it really sounds like she will need more surgery.

Needless to say I'm totally bummed about it.
