I had C2-T2 done back in October 2013. it was super tough going and lost all range of motion in my neck from it. But by January I was pretty much healed up and on light restrictive motions. I listened to my surgeon and did everything he said and glad I did cause my house took a hit from an EF2 tornado in April 2014 and I was able to handle the mess and frustration of cleanup and rebuilding a majority of everything damaged
