I met with the Neurosurgeon today ....
The C2 vertebrae is growing back together very well. The bottom of it is fused and the top part is coming together. The Doctor said she will set up a CT scan in a week and if it is still improving, she will have me come in to her Office. We will do neck X-rays with my head in different positions. If the C2 is stable, she will put me in a soft collar and set up rehab for the neck muscles. She was very positive about the direction things are going.
Thank you for the prayers and kind thoughts and sarcastic observations!! I loved 'em all.
Honestly, I don't remember any sarcastic comments. Other places I got questions why an 80 year old guy was driving a fast go kart, like that was something weird. The best though was the Doctor when I was in Rehab. He was interested in my life so we talked about traveling around the world, living in foreign countries. When I checked out of Rehab he said, "I probably shouldn't say this but I hope when I am your age I do something similar."
