The neck bone's connected

On Friday I went to see the spinal surgeon. He works out of the "cast clinic" at the foothills hospital. He looked at my x-ray and pronounced it healing well. I just have to wear the neck brace another 3 weeks (!), then a little physio because I won't have any neck muscles still working, and my little neck episode is history. The doctor also said the "tumor load" was way down but that he wouldn't say it was gone (he's not a cancer doctor).

I am getting better at sleeping with this thing on. I guess you can get use to anything. Still no driving and its a little slippery for bikes. In three days we're headed for LA to visit Sandy's Dad. That's always fun and it'll be nice to worry about water going down my neck instead of snow.

Everybody have a merry Christmas and watch for slippery sidewalks!
