On Oct 26 I had neck surgery. The surgeon added some titanium shims between the c3 and c6 vertebrae and took out some bone. This allows my spinal cord to fill out. It's pinched and my right hand was experiencing numbness. It is a matter of time if waiting to see how much of my nerves in my right arm and hand recover. I'm glad I did this when I noticed it, instead of toughing it out. Although I had perhaps toughened it out a few months more than I should have. I had noticed this happening back in June and only talked with my physician about it in August. I thought it was like something I'd had 5 years earlier in Durham, where they provided me with a splint on my left wrist to ease the pressure on my left ulnar nerve.
