About Me

I have Adhesive Arachnoiditis from a botched lumbar surgery in 2006. Last spring I had Lumbar Fusion; the same botched surgery allowed long-term (4-weeks) spinal fluid leakage which destroyed so many of the muscles that the spine was unstable. Pain is my main issue, although I have occasions of other problems. Arachnoiditis is probably the nastiest disease that you've never heard of! I taught High School Art for many years, and tried to go back to it this year, but was unable. I am now working on qualifying for disability.
