Well I have been out for a while, had anterior C6 Corpectomy to correct a herniated disk that was pressing on my spinal chord causing nerve pain in my left arm, headaches and balance issues. It is a fairly simple but grizzly operation if you watch it on you tube before you have it. I made the mistake of watching many of them and scared myself. Luckily the last thing I remember was being wheeled down the hallway and when I woke up It was done and I was in a collar. 1 night in the hospital and back home. Here I am 1 week post op. I have good pain pills and if anyone ever has to face this surgery, just go for it.
