Ed - thank you for your quick reply. I wish I could help him more, but unfortunately it's up to him to look for help in dealing with this. I will try to talk to him, though.

I have a couple of questions. As I mentioned before, he sleeps in his recliner now. He hasn't slept in a bed since his May 02 surgery because his neck is too "tight". Has any one else experienced this? Is there something the doctor can do to "loosen" it? My mom is concerned, and rightfully so, that he will never go back to sleeping in their bed. I think it bothers her more than she lets on.
