I had surgery on my neck on Oct. 1st... it went well... the post-op didn't go too good... I had issues and problems with the pain meds and side effects from the anesthesia, (was severely depressed)... but I'm all better now... (debatable, I know). I am now tho, PAIN free for like the first time in 5 years, although truly in like 27 years with phantom pains, they're almost non-existant, post-surgery... Whereas they had been really, really bad in the preceding couple of years prior to the surgery... almost gone now! (isn't it funny how pain is spoken of as almost an entity)

I have a 3.25" titanium plate in my neck now (insurance said the retractable claws was considered "Elective" and wouldn't pony-up the $$$). The Doc says I can go 4wheelin when I feel like it... !!!
