I went in for neck surgery — a fusion of three vertebrae — and came out sounding like Marge Simpson.
My voice is a raspy, gravelly mess — and it could stay that way for a while — but I am pain free. I have stopped using marijuana edibles and I’m totally off pain killers. Which means, some of these columns might actually make some sense now.
Nah, probably not …
But all in all, the surgery was a tremendous success and I've been cleared to work.
So hallelujah to that.
But after living with a neck brace for several weeks, I did learn some important lessons: First of all, never watch a scary movie after a four-hour neck surgery.
