My
visit went "okay" on my follow up 11 days after the neck surgery. What I
found out though this HAD TO WORK AND IT NEEDS TO HEAL AND STAY
WORKING! I don't have much bone to even work with anymore... he took out
all of the hardware, and one of my other surgery levels had completely
fused and was awesome. It was "between" the two the were new and then
one that never quite healed right from the 2012 surgery. It is amazing
to look at the X-rays and wonder how the heck they get
all
of that in there, and make it work. I am in the HARD COLLAR THOUGH
another 5 WEEKS!
Then i go to a soft collar, but he told me frankly we
needed to take every precaution we could to make sure this does get the
job done... my lumbar spine he said, and he was upset I did not tell him
months back about how bad it had gotten, but my neck after seeing NO
SPACE LITERALLY between two of the discs, and how he managed to put
almost 2 1/2 inches of space and then remove a huge bone spur that was
also in that area... but lumbar surgery could be done in about 9 weeks
if it stays bad or gets worse. He said I could have lower surgery even a
bit earlier as long as my neck progresses .... anyway, I then I think
put myself in a "tension" after hearing him and then I think I am having
muscle spasms on the left side where it is so bad, plus just stressed
myself out so
I didn't sleep again as well as I should have and was up
"early" but at least not at 2AM and was actually asleep until about
3:30AM before I finally got up. I don't want to sit and type much. Right
now although the pain and burning etc has really gone down so much so
quickly, I don't want to chance i and I don't want to run into messing
something up.... so that is my report... once I get the operative
report, I will have to post some of that so you can hear just how much
he had to do in orde to have enough to work with this time...
