Default pillows, rolls, and ACDF

I am not sleeping worth a hoot. Prior to my surgery ACDF 5-6-7 I got help sleeping from a contour cervical pillow and while sitting in a recliner it helped to put a rolled up towel under my neck.

Now, I have given away the cervy pillow, have tried to neck pillows and all seem to give me pain. How about you others with fusion? Do you think it is the now one bone over three vertebra that will not allow me to have neck support without pain?

I am using a teeny flat pillow at present about and inch thick. I bunch it up a bit for some side neck support but the regular cervy pillow seem way too tall now.

Lord...I wonder if it is the thorax spine causing this now. Afraid to get a check up..what they will find.

Oh...can you have an MRI with a titanium plate in your neck? I've heard MRI's are all over for some people with hardware. Anyone know about that?

JB outta here to Canada Mon. ohhh...plane rides.
