Where were you when the West was defeated?

There is a bone spur(s)? that they are going to take care of.
So it is not a life-or-death issue, or anything dramatic. But not going to be a fun week of recovery..heh.
while you are out the doc will slip his man part into your not so girly opening, it's been done before during the above "normal procedure"...just a friendly fyi of course.

Your cervix was fused?
Cervical means neck in this case. I had c6-c7 fused (they take the disc between the vertebrae out, put a small piece of bone from a cadaver in there, and screw a metal plate over all of it.)
The disc was probably weakened from years of weight lifting (squatting), and a very minor auto accident, where a lady drover her SUV into the back of my car at about 5 mph. I was actually leaning my head back to take a drink of a protein shake when she hit me...so my neck was already bent back, and when I got hit it whipped back ever farther. I settled with their insurance company, had a sore neck for a couple days, and thought nothing of it until 2 years later, at the golf course, having just put an extra-stiff shaft in my driver - I had to keep the clubhead speed around 125 to hit that thing, which was not easy. During a swing, I felt a snap back there...which was the disc at C6-C7 rupturing.

Yea, that is probably true. It's not limiting any activities, just painful. But I don't/won't let it slow me down. I'd rather live the next 10 years going 100% and then be done with sports forever than I would spending 40 years going 50%...which I wouldn't enjoy anyhow. And you never know what they'll be doing in the operating room 10 years from now.
