Surgery went well! My Dr. said picture perfect placement and large bone spurs removed! I couldn't believe how well I was feeling by the time I left the hospital (just a few hours after surgery). I thought I would be out of but was completely lucid and am doing great so far! Time will tell if it actually worked since I have incision pain and am swollen in general but I am optimistic! I will start a new post-op thread and provide updates in the next few days. Thanks, everyone!
