Neck surgery on 4 Dec. has accomplished a three level fusion (C4-C7) that has be trapped at home in a rigid neck brace until January something. Post op swelling is going down, pain is subsiding and chronic pain/tingling in arms and hands has gone away. Neck, throat and shoulders are still rotten so I'm staying doped, sleeping 12-hrs a day and not smoking. Doc said a bowl/day is OK (cig smoking is definitely NOT ok) and, doncha know, the pills have killed my taste. I tried a bowl of Chocolate Flake yesterday and it was deader than a doornail.
Time marches on. Teeth gritted.
