A BUMP
IN LIFE'S
JOURNEY
With help from a neurosurgeon at Gwinnett Medical
Group, Margaret Gardner survived a rare condition
and is on the road to recovery BY ZACK HOOPAUGH
Like most people, Margaret Gardner has seen her share of
change. She fostered a career and raised two children in
Michigan, then moved with her family to Georgia and built a
new life there. Over the years, not much has slowed her down. Between
swimming, sewing and spending time with her four grandchildren,
Margaret was always keeping busy.
But in March 2017, just two years into retirement, Margaret began to
experience severe back pain. She had suffered from chronic back pain
for many years, but this was different.
"The pain was excruciating," she recalls. "It was so bad that I could
feel it radiating through to my stomach. I could hardly move, and I knew
I needed to call 911."
