I hope you have a job that allows you to vary your positions and baby your neck a bit. It shocks me how different doctor's recommend different courses of action and rehabilitation.

Oh please take care of your neck, it's a precious thing!

Wow! 6 months. How many levels did you have operated on? I thought 8-12 weeks was sort of the norm for recovery. My surgeon isn't taking xrays until 12 weeks just prior to return to work
