Not going to say a whole lot, going to rest, but everything went great. I have a sore throat and have lost my voice a little. My Doc says no frets. Pain in left arm is mostly gone, some little ones felt here and there. A few muscle spasms on incision side(right). Overall awesome so far. My fear was my geatest enemy. Thank you so much for your post on this board, I truly felt like it prepared me for this, and thanks for your support and prayers. Will update you soon. P.S. ACDF C 6-7 with Titanium Plate and Screws with soft collar.

BDW,
Such wonderful news :) :). Thank you for letting us know how you made out. Take it slow and enjoy your pain-free arm. I lost my voice too, but it came back in a couple of days.
So happy that your pain is gone. :wave:

Hi BDW,
How wonderful to be home, the worst is all behind you now. I think alot of icecream would certainly help your throat, chocolate is also good.
Get some rest and do not overdo it. Mel

Glad you are home. Take it easy and relax now BDW. It's all over with except for the healing which will come. Try the pudding and popsicles. I enjoyed having a bowl of Tapioca all to myself after my surgery. Poached eggs are also easy to eat.
