Got my Neck Back!

[sraebaer]

So thrilled, after 65 days, to finally be out of my cervical collar after breaking my C2 vertebrae after falling down my stairs. The doctor says it's "almost healed," just to use common sense with my activities. So I won't be riding the roller coasters on our school trip next month, but I can get back to my walking/hiking. No running. I'm walking around the house feeling so strange, but my head hasn't fallen off (like hubby told my grandkids would happen). Now I have 3 pounds to lose after being a couch potato for 65 days. (Snuck just a few walks in, but was told no exercise.) I really miss my woods, so will be there tomorrow after school. Today I'm going to get used to this weird feeling of being "free."

Congratulations! I'll bet you feel so relieved. Glad your almost healed.

So glad to hear that you are finally out of the neck brace and able to start some exercise. I know you were so eager to get back to being active! So happy for you!! Just be sure to take it slowly and be very careful!

I know how you feel, dear lady. I had my C3, C4, C5 removed and replaced with donor bone and metal. I had a lovely collection of 3 braces. LOL. It's great to be free, isn't it! I'm so glad for you and I hope your recovery continues smoothly. Get neck massages from friends, family, and massage therapists, it really helps.

Yay for you! Those three pounds will be gone in no time. Enjoy your new freedom.

I was so sore today! I don't have much range of motion at all, and I feel like Rice Crispies, I snap, crackle and pop! The neck massages sound wonderful!

I was surprised my doctor didn't recommend physical therapy, as I'm not sure how much to push it. I may call tomorrow with questions. My brain surgeon is a man of few words.
