That "simpler" approach works for some people, not for others. If you think about it from a mechanical perspective - you started out with a large piece of disc as the cushion keeping pressure off the spinal-root. Then it ruptured. They probably want to remove some, and cut some bone, to give clearnace for the spinal-cord-root. So, when done, you've got less cushion then you started with. Physics seem to dictate that if the original parts didn't hold up, why will the trimmed parts? Answer is - I guess - depends how you got that way. If from an unusual accident that's may not happen again - they maybe it will work fine. If you got that way from stuff you do everyday - well - then it seems you'll have to change your lifestyle if that's all they are going to do. That's the way I saw it when I was crippled from it. I told that to the doctor and surgeon and asked for the full-job the first time. They refused and had to do the least intrusive surgery first. I had my C3 and C4 done twice. First time they took what they said was the simplest approach - from the back of the neck. They went in and removed enough material to take pressure off the spinal root. It didn't last three months - but I do a lot of heavy-duty type work. Maybe if I was a desk-sitter, things would of gone better. 2nd time in, they went through my throat and fused C3 and C4 with a piece of my own hip bone. Took me two years to fully recover from that job - but it worked. Did it in 1991 and I'm still out working every day.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
