Hi there,
It's been a long time since I posted. I am one of these people who had a good outcome, moved on with their lives and rarely check this forum anymore. I am 6 years post-op and doing great. This Monday, I was rear-ended on freeway. It was my first accident since the surgery and oh boy, was I scared! Happy to report that I am OK, my hardware is intact. I just got a headache next day, went to my PCP to get checked, got X-Rays done and all is fine. My doctor didn't even see a need for physical therapy. A few Tylenol pills took care of my headache.
I was driving 2018 Honda Accord and I am glad I wasn't in some small flimsy car! If at all possible, I would suggest folks here to drive good size cars that perform well in crashes.
