Just got home guys. Hard to believe the surgery was a little over 24 hours ago! Things went great! The pain, numbness, & lack of control in my left upper back, shoulder, arm & hand was 100% gone the second I woke up. My neck is a bit sore - gee imagine that - not bad though. I'm 1000% better than I was before the surgery. Both of the surgeons I saw ended up doing the surgery - my main surgen and the guy I went to for the 2nd opinion. So I had two orthopedic surgeons that have done 100's of these working on me. They are very happy how everything went. Now the wait is to see if the fusion takes - 9 out of 10 take. Will have a follow up in a couple weeks. Thanks for all the well wishes. Just thought I'd pop in real quick and give ya'll an update.

Awesome news from my neck surgeon - all healed!

Had a follow up visit with my neck surgeon yesterday from my December spine surgery. Last time I saw him was in april and it wasn't fused at that time. Yesterdays x-ray shows it as fully fused all the hardware is good and tight and he lifted all restrictions!! I was really sweating it during the hour and a half wait that it wasn't going to be fused and I would have to go through it again. He told me with the way its healed that in 2-3 months I could be cleared to play full contact football at MSU (which WON'T be happening ). Time for a day long ride!!
