Five levels, huh? Ouch! My sympathies to you- she had a disc missing ( worn out, apparently ) at C-5, and the plate is locked to it and the vertibrae above & below it. Six bolts in all, plus bone plugs to fuse them together.

Grim stuff, but it beats being dead or paralyzed.

BTW, her folks family business-- Haase Farm Service- had its start in Sumner, Iowa, many, many years ago.
