Thank everyone for your prayers and good wishes my disk fusion surgery went very good and I'm on the mend. Kinda feels like my head is on a spring and my throat is sore, feels like I swallowed a golf ball, from the surgery but everything went very well as far as I can tell. They went in from the front so I've got about a 5 inch cut on the front of my throat. I think the worst part was the day after when they pulled the drain tube out, probably 6 inches of tube, that kinda smarted. Anyway I feel pretty good, walked close to a quarter mile this morning but to be just a couple days out I feel pretty goodl. The numbness on my hand and fingers is gone so hopefully we got in front of any permanent nerve damage.

Glad you are starting to heal. Hope that fixed the problem. I dealt with severe stenosis in my neck so bad I couldn't turn my head to check traffic. A three procedure nerve ablation gave limited relief followed by over a month of electro acturepuncture. Continued exercises keeps me able to drive. My spinal fusion at L4/L5 May of 2021 was really successful. I only missed two weeks mowing my lawn as family bought me an electric start self propelled Toro. This summer a bulged disc at L3/L4 pinched nerves to left hip/leg. Had a rupture there in 2019 that damaged nerves to right leg. Now my left leg is damaged and neurologic tests were inconclusive. Will determine in August if another fusion is necessary. Lots of gabapentin, tylenol and some Tylenol #4 to survive the pain 'till then. Don't overdo the activity but do the PT for your rehab. Good luck and still praying for you, Ivey.

Sorry to hear your troubles I feel for anyone with back issues. I had a L4 L5 fusion in 2003 that didn't turn out to good lots of pain and neuropathy in both legs. The Dr. who did my neck was more concerned about the lower back than the neck but I decided I already had the lower back problem so I'd do the neck fusion first. Probably go back for that one later this year. Back problems are no fun but with a really good neurosurgeon hopefully I'll get back up to speed soon. Good luck with yours and prayers for a good outcome.
