If anyone is interested in the following:
Went to see the neurosurgeon yesterday. My neck looks like it's better than before. Have to go back in the 21st of Dec, after I have a full spine MRI Nov 17th, to see the anesthesiologist, get more X-rays, and to see the neurosurgeon again; so he can gameplan for my next surgery which would be on the thoracic part of my spine and is scheduled for Jan 17th. Skip laminectomy on my T 3-4, T 10 - 11, and T 12 - L 1. No fusions this time. Cant guarantee if i will/wont have anothet stroke; but if i do, theyll be prepared, it will only affect my lower extremities and wont have any negative effect to my progress with my right hand. Then we'll discuss the lumbar surgery.

I’ve had three lumbar surgeries. L3 thru S1 is all one piece of bone now. I understand fusions make you feel better and un pinches the nerves but you are never back to 100%
