Thanks for sharing the opinions & the contact.

The Reaper,
No disscrespect intended Sir,
"Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.

I've been worshiping this creed for well over 2 years. I'd done my best to live by it previously. I've been excedingly fortunate that men such as yourself have trained me & mentored me for a quarter of my life.

I actually have RTD as a RC Soldier. I faced down the MRB & fought through every objective they put in front of me. There are provisions in place to pull troops back to AD for further treatment of combat related injuries. My case is going to be a hard sell but I know I can be a far more productive Soldier, Father, & man with this procedure.

"The surgery will not change the extent of the nerve damage from your injury, IMMHO. It could well be a second life altering event that can't be reversed"

I understand that it cannot be reversed. I'm trying to articulate to the right ears that neither will the damage I currently have.

The nerve damage I have is exacerbated by activity. The more the ankle articulates & the foot & toes are splayed (? right term) during activity the more intense the pain is. Often with an active day the pain is enough to prohibit sleep. It being addressed with chemical cocktails for the rest of my life is as equally unsettling an issue as attempting to minimize pain through activity restriction.

Additionally, (and this is the part where I am admitedly not as objective in my reasoning as I'd like to be) with the falls etc I've had, it's not a matter of IF someday I may re-injure the leg but WHEN it will be.
These were sustained in controlled environments as well.

My previous resident comment, I don't believe that can apply to any members here with the exception of them possibly smacking their head, chuckling & recalling how in their diligent studies & vibrant youth, they once knew everything too.

Thank you all again.
