Seems like yours is the amazing story, but am certainly pleased with how it worked out. By the way, when I was going through this, I had the impression that the DRs didn't want to operate on me as I was too YOUNG at the time. Like you I still have tingling at times, but with Motrin and some recognition it goes away - at least for now.
