George Flanagin's ACDF portal.
September 8, 2009, I had C4/C5/C6/C7 fused using dynamic plates. This mini-site is a chronicle of what I have learned about the recovery process. I hope my experiences with diet, exercise, rest and recovery can help readers shave a little time off their own experiences.
This site does not contain advice about whether or not to have the surgery, nor does it attempt to justify having the surgery. I have embedded a polemic about the American health care system, a system which is under a great strain at the time of my surgical experience. It is a fascinating time to be engaged with a major medical event and recovery.
