Tim was introduced to me by his Aunt LeAnne (she is a client). She brought Tim to the center as the family was contemplating surgery; as Tim had lost feeling in his leg and they really did not know the cause. The family was worried as Tim is a young father and only 19 years of age.
After working on Tim for 2 hours and having a long discussion with them it was purely there decision. Because the surgery was experimental these lead to tough choices. My main concern was having a surgery done when no one could tell him the outcome or the cause. The hopeful outcome was feeling would be returned to his leg.
Because Tim did not know the cause; nor the surgeons, it is difficult to determine what to do next. The most important thing I can say to anyone is listen to your body and yourself. With all the information you gather do not take an approach that you are not comfortable with.
So I met Tim and off he went. The next time I saw Tim was two to three months following his surgery. He now had no feeling from his chest done - inclusive of his right leg. This was daunting. He was scared and had no directions from the doctor's as to what to do next. So we begin our journey.
