John :Good luck !You gave me a lot of great encouragement when I had a cage and cadaver bone installed in the front of the neck back in 7/02.Make sure you have plently of easy to manage food and a clean house and fresh linnens before you go in so you can come home and rest. My prayers are with you bro for a succesful improvement in your spinal problems.Bleach all your bed sheets and pillow cases and any other areas like you bath tub that might cause infection.My first surgery on my spine C5-C6 on the back of my neck in 2/02 resulted in a natsy infection.My wife had to pack 6 inches of packing in there twice a day for 6 months before it closed.I have had several buddies that got surgical infections where they had to walk around with an IV of antibiotics for months.
Sooo: Sanitize,Sanitize Sanitize,and let's get you back here doing well ASAP.
your pal ,still in the the silicon valley pit.
