Default Cervical Spine Surgery

I had a cervical disc fusion on St Patricks Day and I now sit here with my hard cervical collar on trying to type.
The surgery has relieved the pins & needles in my left hand and the hand is already stronger.
The pain from the incision is minimal but the c-collar is a pain in the **** and I have to wear it for 2 more weeks!! YIKES!

Of course being a nurse, I had minor complications post op. I had a raging asthma attack[never had asthma before] and bronchospasm in recovery room, which necessitated a stay in the ICU....... which gave my DH a few more grey hairs.
My wonderful sister in law is here helping her big brother stay sane and waiting on me hand & foot. I don't want her to ever leave!!

So I guess I will be spending more time on the computer cause I can't do much of anything else.
