Good afternoon my friends! First off, thank you all for the kind words and well wishes and prayers. Please keep those coming because the rides not over yet.
I just got back from the neurosurgeons office and got the tsk-tsk-tsk, frowny face and lots of hmmmms. After reviewing the CT scans he told me I have to have spine surgery. Not that I could, but that I need it. The specific procedure is called an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. C5-C6, and C6- C7. It was quite obvious on the CT scan just how screwed up my neck really is. The prognosis is good, and he said it’s greater than 90% full recovery. I don’t have a date scheduled yet but his staff is supposed to call me nlt Wednesday to set the date. Once it’s done I will be out of commission for at least 3 weeks, maybe longer depending on how the recovery goes.
I miss the banter with you guys, and I hope once this is over to be a regular poster again.
Take care guys!
