Jackie I thank God for you and your thoughtfulness to document your journey related to neck surgery.I too will be having this surgery on March 2,2012.My surgery will be on C4-C7. Your video really gave me alot of insight into what I will actually be experiencing first hand and not just some textbook description.I will now ask for YOUR prayers because as you know I have some anxiety.I have three children ages 10,8,and 3 and I am worrying about them as well;how they will adjust.Thanks.God bless.

I just had this surgery 1 week ago. Best decision of my life. I had complete numbness in my left arm for 8 month prior. I woke up in the recovery room and the numbness and pain was gone. Unbelievable. I was home the next day eating solid foods, no collar, today is my first day of driving. If your having this same pain do it! I lost 0% range of motion side to side and up and down.

@topshepherds I will be having the same surgery on the same two discs in one week. I am in so much pain and have lost so much function in my left arm, I am looking forward to some relief. I'm nervous about the surgery, but I know God will be with me.

Hi Jackee, enjoyed your video. I am scheduled next week for my surgery on 01/18/12. I am going to have my left hand carpatunel surgery done at the same time, then have the right hand done later. I am starting to have doubts about having both surgeries at the same time oh well, hopefully I will be able to sleep all night. I had back surgery last year, I am tied of hurting. Hopefully my surgery goes as well as yours did. GOD bless you, and hope you continue with a speady recovery.
