The surgery is done from the front of my neck and to get to the vertebrates in the back it is required to move all the muscle, nerves and blood vessels to one side for access. I had bone spurs pressing on the nerves and spinal cord that were causing major problems. A 2 1/2 hour surgery turned into 4 hours. So as a result my throat swelled to the point I coudn't swallow any food or water for over 4 days and had to make a trip back to the hospital for fluids and steroids to open my throat.
Has not been a fun process!!
Thoughts and prayers are very welcome.
Ernie

Sorry to hear that, my wife had a fusion, and it’s a painful process even when things go as planned.

Hope you have a speedy recovery

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement. I think for right now I'm past the sharp pains stage but the nagging aching makes it hard to get comfy to sleep. I can do about 1/2 hour at a time in the shop right now.

Thank you young man! It is kind of like eating a elephant " One mouthful at a time".
