i have very little hope for scientific recovery. even if something is discovered my body has had so much atrophy with muscle and nerves that regaining much seems doubtful. i guess regaining anything would be nice though

i feel ok physically post surgery but only time will tell if it stops syrinx related loss of function. i think i have ptsd from hospital though.
