They say that a spinal tap can be dangerous and when I say “they”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I mean the doctors. They are right, in my case not death or paralysis<\/p>\n\n\n\n
though possible but as I would describe it a “bad back”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which I believe is the result of nerve damage as they pushed the needle home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I took a chance, they said it could be dangerous but we all take chances<\/p>\n\n\n\n
do we not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am not an expert, I am not a doctor, I am a layman who combines his <\/p>\n\n\n\n
limited knowledge with his immediate experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The spine is the ultimate connector to every bone in the body,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
crucial to movement and you can tell me what else it does <\/p>\n\n\n\n
but I focus on the fact that it also contains the main conduit<\/p>\n\n\n\n
of the nervous system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A strategically placed wound to said can affect certain or perhaps<\/p>\n\n\n\n
all areas of the body, in my case the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a more serious vein, my wife needs my attention as I write, ha, ha!,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
but I will post an addendum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
