Hi
I posted yesterday but don't know if I did it wrong.

I am facing acdf c3/4 4/5 5/6 on Monday. I was rear ended on the hwy on march 26 and my car and I totaled. I suffered injuries to neck and knee. I have had arthroscopic knee surgery and will have total knee replacement on August 22.

However after PT and epidural injections I have no relief on my neck. It feels as though I have 100 lbs on my neck and shoulders. Does anyone else feel this way?

So I will have acdf Monday July 1. And I admit I am very scared. And no novice to surgeries either but this one scares me. Anyone else feel or felt this way?

So many questions about recovery. Will I be able to sleep in my bed? I don't think I will be wearing a collar.
What will my limitations be and for how long? After the first week I will be alone much of the time. Will I be able to feed my cats? Wash my hair?
And when can I drive?
How helpless will I be?!
Pls help, anyone, because I am full of uncertainty and fear
Thx
