Ended up in the hospital for three days with the ACDF and it was pure torture. Recovery is not going well. I wish I could go back in time and un-do this, but they said my spinal cord was "dented," and this was the right thing to do, rather than wait for insurance to pass the ADR. This whole thing is a nightmare.

ACDF never fused, and ACDF accelerated damage of the other levels. Someone please kill me.
