@orloffjr thanks for the reply glad you too are doing well this is the 4th repair I have had done over the last 26 years and like the others I would do it again even with the c5 palsy issue. The pain relief and balance issues resolved for me as well. It's definitely how you how you look at the out come. It's about quality of life. So glad you have had a great out come.

@cheri63 I agree it is about gaining/keeping as much function as possible. I am having another fusion on lumbar from L1 to L3. that I have been putting off for years. Already fused from l4 to S1 since 2018. The joints above deteriorated badly right away and now have become unstable. I think I will be in a lot less pain and gain function to a large degree. I have a friend who had a similar surgery and and he wishes he had done much sooner. Thank you for the encouragement. 🙂
