Guest guest Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Well, it's been a week post-op with mixed feelings. My blood pressure went sky high Tuesday, mostly due to weaning off the Vicodin/Flexeril cocktail. Things look fine, structurally. Still a lot of muscle tightness, but that's to be expected. No tingling or pain in the left arm. It does feel weak, though, so I'm expecting a short PT modality, probably home exercise or something. They should give patients TWO Aspen cervical collars because I sweated out the first one in less than 2 days. Ended up throwing on a soft collar and having the hard collar washed. I'm not one for a lot of hair on my head and face, so I finally shaved yesterday. Numbness is starting to go away under my chin because I could feel the whiskers coming in. AAAAGH!!! Looking forward to the next Dr. appt so I can get outta this collar! It makes sleeping a challenge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
