0H! Tessie, I do not blame you for one moment or for one good cry followed by a @#$%^&> for your reluctance and most likely aversion to any kind of surgery that involves the spine! I don't want to claim bragging rights-LOL-but I have had twenty-two
(22) of those 'Nightmares'! That last pageant put me in St Mary's Medical Center for over a month! All that I owned from C3 - C7 and replaced it with Titanium mesh-13 Aug, 2018-the next evening-14 Aug, 2018- some time after 9:00 P, in walks the Neurosurgeon to make my whole nite . "Your going back to surgery. Judging by the MRI, we didn't cut down the edge far enough. We need to go through the front of your throat"! The end result was that I could no longer walk & on & on & ON! That was by far the worst to endure, above all else...
Now to compare Cat's-Eyes' I've undergone, at last tally: Too, too many! There are those times when I fell that I resemble the 2023 Ed; of the "PDR" {Physicians Desk Reference}.
Did you happen to notice how some of the sentences' appeared truncated? I went to the kitchen to grab a sandwich and when I came back the cat had made himself at home on my keyboard and, I think, tried to do the Rhumba on the keys.
Time to head to the Rain locker & soogie my unit...
Talk to you later. Be good and stay healthy.
