Cervical spine fusion

**Has anyone been fused C2-C1 or possibly C1 or C2 to the base of the skull, allowing no head movement? What was your quality of life post-fusion? I have previously been fused (2006) from the highest thoracic vertebra to C2 (more than one fusion). I now have debilitating stenosis C2-C1. I am almost 79, and only one surgeon has been interested in operating because of the high risk that surgery resultwill result in immediate quadriplegia or death. I also have not wanted to consider surgery until very recently. However, the alternative of doing nothing, for which I'm having severe symptoms now, also will ultimately res ult in quadriplegia and respiratory failure leading to death.**
