Bad news from my neuro surgeon.

That's good to hear Ward. Glad your healing up. My uncle had neck surgery and he said the best medicine he found was to take two nurses and go to bed....

take it slow and get well! You have the rest of your life for the fun stuff!

I get to take MY Doctor to bed with me !!!!!!!! LOL

Only advice i like to say is with neck fusions a 40 mile solid crash is harder on neck then g-force. Please make sure U choose your tracks well and try not be traction limited. I had a dumb chick knock my hot off one and it being tight on my bald held hurt unbeleavable. Hope your wife don't get angry when she drinks lol. Good luck and hope it completely heals in throat as I wasnt that lucky. But every body come out differant and has there own ospticals to deal with.

Ward,
I had a thought the other day; a poured seat. I have sit in one and they are great. They will spread the load out evenly. I want to have one poured in my truck when everything else is finished.

That is a good idea to research. The seat in this car is big enough. It must have been driven by the jolly green giant.

I havnt said anything about it but this is my second bout with cervical fusion. My neck feels the best that it has in over 20 yrs. that predates my first surgery. I always felt like they missed something with that first surgery.
