Well, I postponed by surgery. I approached University of Florida for an evaluation. This first appointment I can get for just an evaluation is in July 2026! I am concerned about that as my surgeon at Mayo in Jacksonville felt I should get the operation sooner than later before any more damage is done. I did speak with him a few days before the surgery and he understood my hesitation and the need for another opinion. He reviewed all my tests once again and stated he can handle C1 and C2 differently so that it would not be such a physical challenge. In that, it was good news. I have a video conference the beginning of December with the surgeon. I did some research and there is another neurosurgeon at Mayo that also has extensive experience at the C1 and C2 level. I am going to try to get an evaluation with him. As for the rest of the surgery, I am looking at posterior occiput to T1 fusion with possible extension, C2-C6 decompressive laminectomy. None of it is a cake walk. The surgeon extensively talked about all the possible risks with such a surgery. If I don't have this surgery, there is a possibility of paralysis. There really isn't a good choice in this situation.
