all I can say is blah... I'm in a neck brace and I'm itchy all I wanna do is scratch and I can;t

Think of it as healing itches?

How did it go?
Does you doctor think it went well?

Oh dear that would be annoying. How long do you have to be held in place like that for?

I knows just driving me nuts .The valum(sp?) seems to help it but it still stinks.
Yes he told my husband it went very well. Gonna have two scars one on the back my neck by my hair line the other on my hip right above my left bum cheek.
Sleeping is kinda awkward is sleep propped up in bed with a bolster pillow and many regular pillows.
But all in all its good to be home

2 months in a hard neck collar 2 in a soft collar... But I have been cheating and wearing the soft collar at home.

The more important time would be that rough first 2 months so you may want to minimize on the cheating with the soft collar so that everything can fuse correctly . The Valium should keep you quite content though
