Sorry to hear about..

your wife, '73.. In my MRI C3 and C4 have bulged out so far they are basically flattening my spinal cord, which already shows damage in the cord.. Unfortunately toward the back, its bone on bone as the discs are completely flattened out, so definitely need spacers between the discs or artificial discs.. the artificial discs are cool cuz you're kind of all "Terminator" like with artificial parts, but they are unproven over time, so am thinking fusion would be my best bet..

Yeah, I've had many days of dive trips ruined by perpetual neck spasms and 3 alarm headaches.. there's no predicting it and no way to get rid of it for 3-4 days once its kicked in.. I absolutely look forward to living life more normally - hopefully that's the outcome.. thanks so much, again...



Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
