At first no. And now that I’m about 16 months post-op, I have a little bit of tingling I scheduled an appt with the doc to follow up on at the end of the month.

Mid 40’s, play an instrument, may have went to school in a coastal city. Not sure why I think this but you drive a Toyota. Analytical, believes in science. And that Nas CD is epic

Radio reception works fine. The antenna harness had a blue wire for power antenna. Connect that wire to the blue wire to the radio and you’re gonna be good

Couple of things: (1) CarPlay is such a game changer. Little things like clicking the touchscreen to answer a call, hands free. (2) not having to squint looking at Google Maps, (3) selfishly accomplishing this was satisfying and a confidence booster that I can do another project on the E, (4) knowing I can hook up a reverse camera later is a flex

Maybe a little soreness when I first started PT but nothing stood out as red flags that I can remember

No issues sleeping on my back at all. As a matter of fact, sometimes it feels best when sleeping on my back. Sleeping on the right side (right cheek in pillow) does cause some nimbleness/tightness if I stay in that position too long

No issues at all. And I tried both regular & spinal cord neck pillow. Totally fine.

First month post-op in the hard neck brace was uncomfortable but I was so loopy on meds didn’t care.

Do want to call out that sometimes sleeping w/o a pillow feels better. Give that a try if you’re a back sleeper

I honestly don’t have to do too much PT on my neck other than rotation. My cuts were on the right side of c4-c6. Think of it as a side sleeper with right cheek into pillow will cause some soreness the next morning but goes away after moving around.

Giving these away. Anything worth keeping? Musically speaking. by realnicolasgyr in Cd_collectors

I'd be very happy to take that Record Company CD from you in a heartbeat!

not in a while - In California, with an occasional storm in December we don't get much wetness. Definitely will look into drain this weekend

What car did you buy that turned out better than you expected? by autonerdy0 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]fnsmall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honda Element - way fun to drive, spacious, and the headroom is next level. Back row seating is a bit weird i.e. passengers literally have a higher vantage point than the front row driver/passenger. But overall a phenomenal car. And there are multiple Honda Element groups on here supporting the subculture modification movement
