Only the Drs who know you and all the details can best predict what will happen in the future. I like to quote to my patients Yogi Berra: “it’s hard to make predictions. Especially about the future.” They should discuss with you and then they can give you probabilities that you will walk again. Keep a diary and share with them. Of what makes it worse and better.
