Post Surgery Update

 I had my L4 ACDF cervical fusion surgery last Tuesday, April 1, 2025,  at Duke Hospital.  It went as the doctor had hoped but was a little more difficult than some due to my neck being 'twisted' from birth defect and scholiosis.  I'm home and back to being able to swallow small bites of almost everything.  I am still having to take my meds with applesauce or yogurt because of swelling in my throat, but that is much better too.  Overall, I did great!  Am so so grateful to have the surgery behind me, and so grateful for all of the love and support that surrounds me.  ☺️
