My Broken Neck Follow Up #2...

It has been two weeks since I first met with my orthopedic specialist. This was an important appointment to confirm that his treatment plan was indeed the right one for me.

I went into the appointment thinking I would learn that I was healing. Maybe it was wishful thinking because after almost three weeks in the brace, it is still too early to tell.
But the appointment was still a success. Dr. Z informed me that nothing bad had happened over the last 14 days. No bones have shifted. All is as best as can be expected. Any injury to the spine is a serious matter. The most serious concern is damage to the spinal cord. I happen to have suffered the rarest of breaks, but since my C1 vertebra fracture occurred without any neurological problems, I should be able to achieve a full recovery over the next few months. I just need to be cautious, careful and continue doing what I'm doing.
I return for a follow up in a month. Please keep sending those healing wishes. They are working!
