Default Cervical fusion C2 - T2

Looks like I will be going in for another surgery in a little over a week. Currently fused c3-C7. Nuero surgeon confirmed a failed fusion at c5-6 with a high grade stenosis. This is an old X-ray but for some reason my old surgeon use a swing arm at this level? Not sure how this could possibility create a strong fusion?! anyway also progressive degeneration and stenosis at c2 and T2. So the plan will be to fix 5/6 and fuse three more levels leaving me fused from C2-t2. I was told that fusing at the C1 and t2 create a stronger structure for the fusion and less likely to have to go in for another neck surgery (this will be my 4th). Not that I have much mobility now, I am extremely concerned about this as well as quality of life. Any one have feedback?
