neck/back surgery

I had two discs removed and fused 5-6. The one above and below is in bad shape also. The doctor talked me into using a cadaver bone instead of a piece of my hip, I'm glad that I did that. I was also having headaches, arm pain and numbness in my fingers, I let it go to long and I got purment damage. I was scared to death to get it done. There is a lot of risk in having it done. I went and talk to two different doctors and I' glad I did. Anyway I finely had it done, had the operatin one day and went home the next. Seven days later I went back and he let me take the neck brace off and a total of seven weeks later I went back to work. It is so much better but I know that there are a lot of things that I can't do and if I do I pay the price. I hope you all the best of luck. Make sure that you do talk to another Doctor before you get it done. I will post a picture of my neck after the operation.
