Good news today has been a full week since the fusion. I have a knot on my neck that is the size of a half dollar that concerned me but ity is perfectly normal. I have full range of motion looking side to side. Up and down has been a little slow but it will be good in time . Doc said at first it my be 3 to 4 months before I could hit the gym but maybe in five weeks .Got to go back April 8 so Im just keeping the faith. Peace
