15 years ago Marc, had difficulty feeling his fingers, and
toes, went to a regular check up, sent to be scanned, to find out he needed a
urgent neck fusion surgery,
a
"cervical fusion"
a surgical
procedure that links together damaged segments of the vertebral column in the
neck.
They fused the lower one C4-5 and
6, this surgery goal was to prevent more tension on his spinal cord. The
surgery
was a success, but it didn't
stop the problem, and with the time he became disable, needed a cane to walk,
and lately we bought a wheel chair.
Cause by his disability, he had to adapt to his new life, he is now
focusing on art, doing ink, water color, paint and poetry. In a few months I will
open a page on my blog and a gallery on my website to share his work.

The second surgery was done last August, too many years
after the first one, our health system is not the best, he should of got that
surgery in 2008, but the Doctor he meet in 2008 didn't render a good
diagnostic, and Marc condition worsen, till he meet Dr. Jacob assistant early
2013, learning that he needed a second fusion this time
for the higher cervical vertebras C2 and 3, no choice if he didn't want to be completely paralysed.
This second surgery was extremely risky but fortunately he got one of the best
surgeon, Dr. W. Bradley Jacob and it was a complete success. Now all his
cervical vertebras are fused.

Dr. Jacob devotion for his patients is remarkable, he took the time to review Marc medical history,
Marc suffered from intense lower back pain, and lost all the strength
in his legs, to help with this situation, Dr.
Jacob will perform a lower back decompression surgery to relieve pressure on
the nerve roots
the surgery does not
correct the underlying degeneration of the vertebrae due to wear and tear of
aging, however, so a return of symptoms is possible, Marc's third back surgery
is today,
I will keep you posted,
