I saw my neurosurgen yesterday - he is going ahead with my decompression surgery on 18th March. I chose the date as my son is getting married on 14th feb and my husbands birthday on 9th march.........just wanted to get a couple of important dates out of the way first. Good luck to everyone else - thinking of you all

Hi all-

I am having surgery for DDD and reversal of cspine on Feb. 24 with Dr. Oro.  He has to put a metal rod in my neck and fix the 2 ruptured discs before he can do my decompression surgery.  Has anyone else had this surgery before?  I don't know exactly what it is called just that he has to put in a metal rod and 3 screws into the bone.  The decompression will probably be around May, but I will let you all know when I know the exact date since I have to recover from this surgery first before he can do they other surgery.  Thanks everyone and good luck to all.

LG or Lori

Hey guys,

I am home from my surgery in colorado. I had anterior cervical discetomy and fusion.  I had to stay in the hospital for almost a week because of complications.  I am okay now and am home and just wanted everyone to know.  Take care!

Dont know what a cervical disectomy and fusion is but congratulations! and am very happy you are home and recovering cause whatever the above entailed I am sure it wasnt a walk in the park. Well done and Best Wishes

I am having surgery on Oct. 16th at 10:30am. I have to be at the hospital at 8am. I told them to make sure I was quit relaxed for this one..not looking forward to the recovery part. The doc said I could have extreme headaches like I never had before as I heal and them they would go away..just to much...but I know I have to do this for my KIDS..MY LIFE..MY LOVES..MY KIDS..
