Sorry for your pains, but why did you need surgery?

2 herniated discs in my neck that were putting pressure on my spinal cord. Those discs are now gone and 3 vertabrae are now fused together with bone and titanium plates.

I'm actually doing much better now, pain is gone and I have been off any narcotics for about 3 days. Going back to work today for the first time. Cannot drive and wear a cervical collar but I can't sit home and vegetate any longer.

Ah, OK. Thought you had an accident rather than something that's been developing over time.

Best of luck with getting back into your routine.
