Katie,
I am so glad you found a solution for your spine. I would go with cervical first, since 6 surgeons have all agreed on that. There is a reason they have the Dr. in front of their name and we don't! As much as we do know, they went to medical school and we didn't. Plus, I wouldn't want to take the chance of something bad happening (I'm sure lots of people have dodged the bullet; but you don't want to be the one who doesn't).
You are way braver than me having two surgeries so close together; not that you have much choice. It's probably better to get it all fixed at once and be on the road to recovery.
Did you get a surgery date?
Best Wishes,
Kathy
