Well I just got diagnosed the problem maybe a couple or a few months ago. Now I am preparing for Surgery off Isand. I, am so scared. I, really don't know what to expect. I am in pain 24/7. I, can't even sleep much at any more.
My Dr. here tells me that rods will be inserted into my neck to mobilized it. That scares me.

@lynjessy, I have had about 45 surgical procedures, from simple little little repair jobs to a couple CABG overhauls. Each one has been tricky and complex and dangerous, and could have taken me out of the ball game. But after the first few, I decided not to worry about them or their after-effect. In our place in history, these events are just part of being human. So now, I kiss my wife, hold hands with a pretty nurse for a moment, shake hands with a doctor or four, and settle in for a long winter's nap. It is all I can do. The rest is in the hands of God through the Grace of God and the best doctors I can find. So on we go.
