Surgery , Cervical Fusion this Saturday

[johnniebear]

I can't take the pain anymore, the EMG revealed that I chronic and permanent damage.

I'm keeping my record going of surgery once a year items,  this time its ACDF  C4,C5 and  C6   and that;s where I have two spinal lesions..

The surgeon said no neck brace, and just a one night in the surgery center.  I can drive in ten days,  start PT six weeks after surgery...  He told me using a brace is old school.  WOW... He trained at Northwestern and he was an Army  NeuroSurgeon..


We stocked up on dog food , cat litter  the mower is winterized and the snow blower is ready..

take care  everyone.

JB's surgery went well and now he has to behave.  He should feel better after watching his Bears take care of Minnesota on Sunday.

Geez another surgery JB. You should ask for a frequent flyer card so you can collect the points and maybe get a free cane.

Good luck & do all the right things. We will all be thinking of you.

Take Care,

Karry.

These surgeries seem endless, don't they? I'm sorry to read about yet another one.

I hope you have a nice fireplace. Hole up with the furry critter or critters, and just let it happ'n, Cap'n.
