Many thanks to everyone for their prayers. My MRI confirmed that I DO NOT need any kind of surgery at this time on my neck. It just happens to be a degenerative problem and several vertebraes are a little to close together. Will need to have a prescribed medication to relieve the inflammation once in a while.  I am certainly happy with that!  I do have about 4 weeks of physical therapy, so I hope that is all I will need. Thank you again and blessings to all of you.   ;)
