I am basically pain free but take the pain & anti spasm meds every 6 hours to keep it at bay. I do start itching at about 4 to 5 hours after the benadryl where the skin glue is still present but it does help. The fracture neck collar is annoying but i have to wear it for 4 to 6 weeks (depending on which doc you are talking to) to keep me from turning my head. Oh and get this i have to wear a bone stimulator device around my neck (reminds me of those old leather oxen collars) 4 hours every day for 9 months to encourage the c4-7 levels to fuse. Get the 19 staples out of the front of my neck this coming tuesday. I am NOT looking forward to that. It all sounds worse than it really is. I get restless & irritable because i cant drive or be real active but i know this stuff is temporary. You all are wonderful for listening as i ramble on and your words of support and encouragement me the world to me! Thanks so so much. On a funny note...so i was doing a little tt while mom went to church this morning and everytime i would switch back to the date screen to move it forward to gift i would nod off from the drugs then try to remember where i was at! LOL lord only knows what items you all got in your inboxes!!!
