I go to the doctor next week. I get an xray each time I go to make sure I'm healing correctly. That's a lot of rays shooting though me. I try not to think about that.
I was told by some that at a year you feel normal again. I don't. I'm glad I did this but I surely don't feel "normal".
Tomorrow is my year birthday! I am so much better but still I have some discomfort in my neck. It doesn't stop me from doing anything it just is a nagging weird feeling. I can't wait until I can tell you I'm feeling normal. There will be a party!

ALMOST A YEAR YA HO!
My year date is right around the corner. July 27...
I tried to make an appointment with my surgeon. I made it on their website. They must be busy because they haven't answered the request and it's been over a week. Time to get on the phone!
Each day is better. I have to do all my stretching exercises every day and often. If I don't my whole spine locks up.
I'm getting use to the popping noises in my neck. They actually feel good. I know I'm just moving things where they need to be when my stretching causes a "snap crackle pop" sound.
How do you like my little fishes on the bottom of the blog? I try to create a calm environment for you to be in while you read the blog. It's a tough subject but one that we need to talk and share about. It makes the journey far more bearable.
Take care

STILL STIFF WHEN WILL IT END
My son's wedding was this weekend. I did pretty well with my pain but all the turning to talk at dinners and such has my neck really stiff again. I was bad about doing my neck exercises too. ugggg!
I go to my doctor for my year check up soon. I'll let you know what he says. Maybe this is it. I know a young gal that had 4 levels done and she seems to have lots of range of motion. What am I doing wrong??

NECK MUSIC
It's taking some adjustment to get use to the snaps and crunched my cervical spine is making. It scared me when it first happened which was at about 2 or 3 months ago. Before that I didn't move my neck very much LOL.
It actually feels good when I can get my neck out of the "stuck" place. I know that it's just gases popping or ligaments moving back into place. It sounds really loud because my joints are near my ears. My elbows and knees have always made "music" and really load to all. I think I'm the only one who hears my neck "sing".

LOST WITHOUT MY PILLOW
Me and my pillow strolling down the avenue. That's my song!
I take my lower back pillow with me every where. We went to dinner last night and as usual my pillow went with me. It's a lumbar pillow.
It's amazing how proper alignment supports your head. If I forget my pillow I end up putting my purse or whatever I can find in the curve of my lower back.
I'm almost a year out now and still have some discomfort. I have about a month and hope that magical day I'll feel normal. Won't that be sweet!
I believe I'll always take my pillow because I never want to be in this seat again. Try a lumbar pillow. You'll be amazed how much it helps you support your neck.
Hope all is well with you. I'm open for questions so bring them my way:)
