My Surgery Was Successful

Hi everyone, I wanted to let you all know that the surgery I needed to have done on my neck, due to the car crash in which I was involved last January, was successfully performed on Tuesday morning. Doc removed the herniated disc at C4-C5 that was pressing on my spinal cord, causing migraines and pain in my left hip and leg. He inserted a small piece of cadaver bone between C4 and C5 to fuse the two vertebrae. He also fixed the fusion from 2000 at C5-C6 that did not take - due to my cigarette habit, he says. He inserted a fresh piece of cadaver bone there as well, and finished it up with a small titanium plate that spans both fusion sites. Now I am home and on some pretty good meds - lol... with a small incision on the right side of my throat that should be hidden in a "neck crease" when it's all healed. I have to wear a soft neck brace when I'm vertical and I'm not able to do too much... throat is still a bit swollen from intubation and because they have to move all that stuff outta their way to get to the spine (don't like to think about THAT too much - yuck!). Now, it's up to me to kick the smoking habit so I don't have any more issues.... wish me luck, IT'S HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!! C'ya 'round, ~Rockin' Robyn~
