One year ago, I had my craniocervical fusion (skull-c2) and chiari decompression surgery in Maryland. Here is an update on my recovery and some of my thoughts about the surgery.

These are the questions I answered:
How did you find your surgeon?
Did they give you non-surgical options first?
Do you think you’ll need lower cervical fusions done in the future?
Would you do it again knowing what you know now?
What advice would you give someone considering fusion?
Did the fusion help your POTS?
Do you know if your intracranial hypertension caused your chiari or the other way around? Does it matter to recovery?
Why do you still wear your brace sometimes?
How did you cope with the pre-op jitters? (Maybe jitters is an understatement)
How is your scar?
Did surgery affect your swallowing?
What are the differences you’ve seen from one year ago to now?
