Cindy,
This response to my plea has helped me so much already. I don’t like the phrase “Misery loves company” but sometimes a helping hand (or hands) is all we need to get us over the jump. I’ve had both anterior and posterior cervical fusion, and while the healing was a lot longer, it was less painful. Yes, I came home the day after surgery. The next day, home health care sent out a pt who worked with me for the first 2 weeks. I begin the real pt on Tuesday. Thank you for the prayers, and I will get some answers. Think the radiation and meds I had to take for 10 years for the breast cancer weakened the bones, but they will find out for sure.
