Why I've checked out temporarily from Life

It's hard to tell from this picture but this is the incision where 4 discs were removed, C4 - C7, and replaced with cadaver bone, 8 screws and a plate.  This has turned out to be much more painful than I realized it would be.  Thankyou to all my family and friends who have helped, to the doctors, nurses and hospital staff.  And thankyou especially to the person who donated their body so I could use their bones in the reconstruction of my neck.
