You are correct, except I am not totally "resolved" but have dramatic improvement.....after only about 10 weeks!
I am optimistic I may avoid further surgery. I spoke with Dr. Zeegers yesterday and he gave me an explanation of what is happening. His fantastic work at C4, which he deems a critical level in the cervical spine, may be enough to negate the issues at the other levels, or at least restore me to a level of comfort and function that I can avoid more surgery.
