Greg, I look at other peoples issues and forget my own, they don't seem so significant at times. I have told my kids, when you think your problems are bad, look at someone else's!

Had the same surgery in 2011, fused C4 and C5, went thru my throat in front. I woke up in recovery pain free. My neck had hurt for years. My throat was a little sore, but that went away in a few days. That surgery was virtually pain free, a whole hell of a lot different than this damn back surgery. It's been tough! Think I'm on the good side of recovering tho, today was a good day...

That's what has helped me from spiraling into a deep dark place. My stroke could have been worse, physically and I could have had less people that cared about me to help me through it. Overall, I think I have come through it pretty well so far

Bosslady had a microdiscectomy about 16 years ago. She got immediate relief. I hear it's still a 50/50 proposition,
