No kiddin' Ron!..check out the GUNS on that little ole' lady! PappaJ...sounds like you went through HE** with your neck! I also have a titanium plate in the front of my fusion,to help stabilize the whole site! Like I said,I definately don't want my condition to get worse! Spinal cords are nothing to mess with! Raff and I will figure something out to limit my neck and head movement before next season! Thanks again,to ALL of you! And Mike!...the X is staying here in Memphis!...NO WORRY ABOUT SHIPPING FEES! BTW...here's an MRI..a month after the 3-level fusion,clearly showing the plate,and screws!
