My surgeon said that my operation "couldn't have gone any better."He said that I can try a few minutes on the elliptical next week once my soft collar comes off. (I still have to wear it most of the day and while sleeping, but not while eating or showering.)
We start talking physical rehabilitation in 6 weeks. Not bad, eh?
He also said that I can remove the surgical glue over my incision. My first reaction was "ewww" but as I said to two friends on Twitter, " I have a seam in me now. Where there was once perfection.... a second chance."

ReplyTrying to figure the pics out... the one looks up higher than the other one, do you have one or two replacement disks?

Whoa! Things have changed since my surgery (same one) in 1997! And thank God. Your pics look fabulous--hey, I had to wear that stupid collar for EIGHT weeks!! Yikes! Long time not to shower or wash hair. Then I couldn't do anything for months that involved physical stuff--no gym, certainly no lifting. Your scar will meld into the natural contours of your neck, and soon you won't even notice it. Hang in there, baby, you'll be SO glad you did this! :)
