Not enough bone for screws to put in decompression spacers. What next?

Probably not what you want to hear, but keep talking to Dr's and research what they are telling you so you can keep asking questions.
If the Dr. doesn't want to spend time to answer them move on to another one.
Make sure that your expectations are realistic for the procedure recomended.
Sometimes the Dr.'s idea of a successful surgery can be totally different than yours.
Here is an article I found with good info about fusions.
It is a long read but very good explanation.

@jlssurplus - Great review of the spinal world and its complexities My stenosis prevents me from playing Bocce in my retirement complex, It is a great letdown from playing very competitive handball for over 40 years which appears the root cause of my issues At 82 years old there appears no magic and surgery might be a good choice for someone a decade or more younger. My garage is filled with walkers(rolling Stock) and I will persevere and enjoy my evening cocktail.
Thanks again
