Hi
I was rear ended on the hwy in march and suffered injuries to my neck and knee. I will be having acdf c3/4 c4/5 and c5/6 surgery on Monday July 1. I will be having cadaver bone metal plates and screws. I am scared of complications with the esophagus vocal cords etc.
And what am I facing post surgery? I have read some of your wonderful posts and have an idea. But what about things like taking care of my cats? Will I be able to lean over to do that? What about sleeping? What about my hair? Seems trivial but not to me.
Basically I am scared. I am no novice to surgery and for the first time I am scared of the actual surgery. Any wise words?
And I am also facing total knee replacement on August 22 also as a result of my accident.
