C4/C5 - C5/C6
I do not recommend neck surgery unless it's absolutely necessary... it hurts.
Unfortunately, ours was necessary. Hubby is 14 days ahead in the recovery process... I started Tuesday. Two ruptured discs were replaced with cadaver bone then fused with a titanium plate & four screws.
It was DAY surgery!
My head feels like it weighs about 100 pounds. Sleeping is a challange but the drugs are awesome!
One day at a time... still reading, just not posting.

I know you know that you've been in my thoughts and I've been sending positive energy your way.
Not certain if you were at MPH but I was thinking about you when I visited a client in Adler 5 (psyche unit), and yes dear I know you were not in the psyche unit but from what I could see, they do have really good medication there!
Trust me that unlike you, he was feeling absolutely no pain!
HUGS and wishes for a speedy recovery!

Dear dear Don...
MPH indeed but outpatient only. (Just above emergency.)
I feel your good wishes and wonderful caring thoughts. Got new meds yesterday.... not as many "trips" as with the Oxycodine but better for my brain.
I often think of you and wonder how often we are crossing paths in real life. Thanks for the hugs. xo
Darling!
RQM told me about this and you have been in my thoughts!
Cheers!

Let me know how it turns out. I have a bad neck too, and I know they'd like to fix it.
But I'm skeered :)
