Living with a Spinal Cord Injury

Diagnosed in 2002 with Spondylolisthesis & Spondylolisis. I had surgery to correct it in 2003 which left me with complications that caused scar tissue to grow in the spinal column which has left me with an incurable and unoperable spinal condition (arachnoiditis). I am now a stay at home dad taking care of our 2 boys, 11 & 2.

About Me

opforsoldier
Diagnosed with arachnoiditis, L5/S1 spondylolisthesis and degenerativ disc disease at L3/L4. I had surgery in 2003 for the spondylolisthesis in which they installed 4 screws & 2 rods, fused the discs and did a laminectomy. I am self employed and work from home so I can spend time with my 2 boys and wife.
