The wound was closed with some super glue and scotch tape to keep the germs out.
One of my rules is, no driving without neck support. Very "Darth Vaderish" in appearance, though my voice is more "Daffy Duckish".

Anterior Cervical Diskectomy and Fusion
Quite amazing, really. He cut into my throat just above the clavical, snaked a microscope and assorted tools past the jugular, windpipe, etc., and set up shop in front of cervical vertebrae nos. 5 & 6. He took out the disk and replaced it with a newer model, shot it full of stem cells and then screwed a titanium plate to the two vertebrae, fusing them in place. I woke up 100% better.

Super glue and scotch tape, that is crazy. We are so glad that you are better! You look very cool in your Darth Vader brace :)
There may be a bit of editorial license in the "super glue and scotch tape" comment. Not much, though.
It's alive! It's a-LIIIIIVE!
