Thanks, @heyjoe415 !

I will ask my surgeon who did my ACDF on my C5-C6 (for cervical spondylitic myelopathy affecting walking, bladder, arm/hand strength and dexterity) if he does laminating and if that would be an option. My quality of life has been poor, especially the last 5+ years. It is hard for me to stand, walk, sit, etc. for long and very limited in what I can do. If I do anything, it takes a day or more to recover (from pain/exhaustion).
