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.

Hey BDW,

WOOHOO

Glad you're back and feeling better. Yes....PLEASE... do rest and pamper yourself. Can't wait to hear your "I'm getting better every day" stories.

Take Care,

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.

Bruce

BDW,
So glad to hear you are back at home and ready to commence recovery! Very glad also to hear it seemed to go well and that some of the symptoms are gone. That does sound very encouraging for you. Get some sleep!
