I am as good as I will ever get. I just have to quit slinging engines and transmissions around... I am up to walking 3+ times a week for 2 to 3 miles. I can stand up straight, and lie flat again. Most of all, the pain running down both legs is all gone. It was arthritis, and I am sure it's not over for my lifetime, but I do my best to keep mobile. Move it or lose it basically. It just takes time. I know your husband must have gone through a lot too. We got to be happy for every day we get above ground. This is a lesson I learned a long time ago.
