update on my situation. New surgery date of December the 18th. I was told by the surgen that he will be removing the pro disc C. And because of the alignment of my neck he is going to have to do a fusion on several levels. Of course I will have limited movement in my neck afterwards and I will be forced to medically retire from the Army but I will be ok with that as long as some of the pain I have been feeling has gone down. My post op date is on the 13th and I'll ask him this question but I was just wondering. Will I be put in a Halo or just have to wear a neck brace until the fusion is complete?
Happy Holidays everyone and god bless you all
