3 level ACDF recovery

I had 3 level fusion on Nov. 8. It was supposed to have been 2 level replacement but Xrays prior showed the vertebrae above was slipping when I tilted my head forward, thus the 3 level fusion. Surgery over 3 hours, one-night hospital stay. Tramadol only a couple of days as not in much pain. Soft cervical collar 2 weeks. At 6 weeks given bone growth stimulator 4 hours/day for 180 days. Had myelopathy and foraminal stenosis; myelopathy addressed, walking without tipping over. Worthwhile surgery overall. Later updates: 6-month CT bone growing, ROM good; year check possible screw issue and slip, second surgery May 31 with facet wedges (Cavux/DTrax); later C7/T1 slipping, mixed opinions on further surgery.
