Neck Xray

Everything is healing okay.  Today's ex-ray shows the plate and the three screws holding my vertebrae together(bright white pieces, like the letter m on its side) and if you look close, between the screws, you can see the the small cages with bone that has been added as a spacer for the vertebrae to keep the nerve clear.
