Guest guest Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Wonderful news. Be careful with your recovery. Don't rush into lifting, moving, cleaning, etc etc.... Take your time to fully recover. Best to you, Izabela In a message dated 11/17/2009 6:02:38 P.M. Mountain Standard Time, wyld_hunny@... writes: Neck Surgery Results Hi, I am happy to be home from my neck surgery. My right arm and hand are thankfully feeling and functioning normal again. My neck and incision pain is moderate and controlled with meds fairly well. For those of you who understand the technical lingo here ya go: There is marked degenerative disc disease with near complete loss of disc height and endplate marrow changes at C5/6. Grade 2 retrolisthesis of C5 on C6 is degenerative in etiology. There is broad-based disc/entophyte with grade 2 spondylolisthesis. Effacement of the CSF with flattening of the spinal cord. Advanced Degenerative Disc Disease at C5/6. This results in grade 2 retrolisthesis of c5 on c6. Severe bilatereral neural foramina narrowing at c5/6. Procedure Diagnosis: Cervical Spondylosis. Procedure Description: C5-6 Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion. I was picked up by the county van at 5 am on Monday and arrived at the hospital shortly after 6 so I had time for a smoke b4 I had to check in at 6:30. My surgery was scheduled for 8:30 but I was not taken until 9:30 although I was the first surgery. The wait was comfortable as they kept giving me morphine injections every hour. This is a very new hospital with all the newest bells and whistles. If you remember those old hair dryers that had a cap that covered your head and a tube that carried the hot air from the machine to the cap, they now have hospital gowns that attach to a similar tube and fill up with warm air, a comfort adjustable dial, and a arm sleeve that you slip your arm into so that your veins pop out for easier iv insertion. It was very comfy. Once I was in the operating room, I had no sooner told the anesthesiologist that I cannot lay on my back and she responded I would only be on it for a moment b4 being put under and it was the last thing I remembered until awaking in recovery. I had a fantastic recovery nurse and then was soon in my room. With the additional medication my left RSD leg was giving me no pain or problems and I found walking enjoyable and also was surprised that I had no back spasms. I was awake, alert, wanting to go out for a smoke ( they made me wait 2 more hrs) and starving. They brought me a clear liquid meal and thankfully my surgeon was visiting me at the time and allowed me to order anything I wanted. Later around midnight I told my nurse that I have trouble sleeping, usually only 2-4 hrs a night for 4-6 nights then usually a 5-6 hr sleep night. I guess he took it as a challenge as after 3 morphine shots I slept for 7 hrs and felt good when I awoke this morning, but not as great as the previous day. I am amazed at the change in my hand and arm, typing with two hands, feeling like I could play the piano again, quilt, and even twist a grip. I am home in my comfy bed surrounded with my favorite pillows. I want to thank you so much for keeping me in your thoughts and praye rs.

It's seems you are one of the few, the proud, the rare surgical success stories! You beat the odds. Who knows with continued good luck and blessing you may not need us anymore, and I mean that in a positive way. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 hi dave, my surgeon said something along those lines, i could get off the morphine now, lol, well i told him he still had to fix the rest of my neck, my lumbar, replace left knee, fix torn cartilage in right knee, cure RSD/CRPS nerve disease and then we could talk. but it sure is nice and kinda strange after all these months to not feel like i am holding on to a 110 volt live wire with my right hand with shocks running up my right arm. nope, i don't miss that feeling at all. thanks for the positive thoughts. i just found you all and don't want to lose you now. i have learned so much, been supported and reinforced with positive thoughts and prayers, and information. given ideas to obtain non covered medications, etc. and made some new friends too. thank you all so very much, wyld > > >Neck Surgery Results > >Hi, I am happy to be home from my neck surgery. My right arm and >hand are thankfully feeling and functioning normal again. My neck >and incision pain is moderate and controlled with meds fairly well. Belated congratulations.
