Anne, if I read your post correctly, you are scheduled for the fusion surgery on Monday? If this is true, please check out the Facebook group for Cervical Disc Replacement Surgery. People on that page are having both fusion and ADR surgeries. I think you might find them to be a good support group for you too. There is also a group for just fusion but I could not find the name. Sorry this is not working out for you as you would like it to. Wishing you wellness and a good recovery.
