Surgery tomorrow
 

I am having surgery tomorrow morning to fuse C5-C7 vertebrae in my neck. I was hit by a distracted driver almost 4 years ago and have been through therapy, steroid injections that I had an allergic reaction to and even nerve ablation which gave me a small amount of relief.
Fortunately, if one can call it that, I was driving a company truck so all this is covered by workers compensation.
Hopefully, I will be back to working on my old cars again in about a month.

Best wishes Bud.

Prayer for a successful surgery and quick healing.

I feel for ya. I was hit by a teenaged driver in 2011. Whiplash was so severe it broke my C2. No Bueno on the neck stuff. I will be pulling for you that it gets you back on track.

Prayers to you for a good outcome.

Good Luck, take 2-3 months to recover don't rush it.

Hope it goes well for you, I've been down the same road, I have 10 bolts and 2 steel rods in my neck from being hit by a car. Good luck

Damn!

Good luck!

You're a fytr. Prayed one up for good results.

Hoping the surgery is a success and you feel better soon. Hang in there! :)

Thoughts.

I had the same surgery about 6 years ago with the addition of two cadaver bones installed. I had been going through a lot of pain, getting the injections and therapy. The minute I woke from surgery I asked the doctor if I was paralyzed due to the fact all the pain was gone. The only inconvenience was wearing a neck brace for three weeks. I hope your surgery is equally successful and wish you the best. To this day, I have had no problems with my neck. Take care and listen to your doctor. John

All the best Phil, get well soon.

Quick recovery man....

Hang in there, buddy. Take your time recovering. This isn't minor surgery.

Good luck and quick recovery!

You have to pay this yourself?

Good luck with the surgery. It sounds like you have tried everything before doing surgery. I have just started therapy for my own medical issue and researching it on the internet just makes me more confused. Hopefully workmans comp is handling most of your paperwork cause I think that may be the worst part of this whole deal. Jim

Wish you the best and a speedy recovery. You will be in my prayers.
