Re: Here it goes...ACDF scheduled for 3/26...advice?

Mona -- I won't wish you luck, because luck has nothing to do with it. ;-) The waiting and anticipation/fear are the worst. I am just 30 days into recovery from ACDF at C4/5 and C5/6 with donor bone and plate. As with any surgery, there are moments where you wonder why you did it, but really the recovery has been much better than I anticipated. I am in a study for ADR, but got randomized to fusion. No big deal -- ACDF is a tried and true remedy, especially at the cervical levels. There will always be something new and different right around the corner. If we keep waiting, we will never have the treatment!

You will do great. Keep us posted.
