What a pain in the neck! April 4, 2008
Posted by spacemom in : In A Family Way , trackbackYesterday was a little odd. Mom and I talked and then I texted to my sister. My sister is not allowed to receive personally calls, emails or anything at work, but we sneak her text messages.
Yesterday, Dad had neck surgery. He was developing bone spurs that were impinging on his nerves. When the doctor got in, there was no disk between those two cervical vertebrae. It was bone on bone. Kind of scary. Anyway, they inserted a new disk, removed bone spur, had to add cadaver bone (I am still not sure why) and send him on his way. Truly! He is going home today! It’s amazing. It’s not for insurance reasons but that he will get more rest at home.
Modern medicine! Wow!

I am endlessly in awe of modern medicine. Good on your dad!
Yikes. The stuff they can do now — just amazing. Good wishes to your dad.
