After a long illness I decided to chase my dreams. I became a certified Stott Pilates and Kripalu Yoga teacher and a Personal Trainer Specialist. After opening my own studio and loving every minute of my life, advanced arthritis sent me to the hospital and surgery. This blog starts with my recovery from an L5/S1 microdiscectomy in June 2007. I had a second surgery, a bilateral laminectomy at L1/2 in October 2007 and a third surgery redoing the microdiscectomy on the right side of L5 and a bitaleral laminectomy at L2/L3 in September 2008.
Update: May 5, 2009: I saw a neurologist in Queretaro, Mexico who suggest that I try Quinine for the muscle spasms. An unbelievably quick reaction - spasms in legs and feet are almost gone. :-) Now it's just my back which is getting better every day.
