Thanks for the info guys, I felt a small sheet of plywood to sit on would do the trick but didn't want to risk it without asking.
As for the trouble code: Does anyone have any idea where these wires are. I'm sure if it is something I knocked loose while washing under the AC unit it should be easy enough to find.
I don't really understand why It needs an outside temp sender anyway. What difference does it make what the temp is outside as to how the unit runs.?
I'm not an AC/Electrical guy.
As for the back surgery. My back is a train wreck. Genetics. I have no cartilage in my body for the most part. I've had both shoulder total replacement due to injuries and no cartilage so everything is bone on bone. My spine is apparently the same. I have lost at least 2.5 to 3 inch in height. Average for my age is 0.5 to 1 inch. All vertebrae are bone on bone.
My C3 had slipped so far off of the C-4 about half way off, It was doing some major compression on the spinal cord which looked like an hour glass on the MRI. It was in a strangle hold about 2/3rds compressed for the width of the C3. It had been going on for a while but the symptoms had gotten to the point I couldn't ignore or write it off to just getting older any more.
I had neuropathy from my finger tips up to my elbows, horrible muscle spasms in my arms and shoulders and had gotten to where I could barely walk. And have loss a tremendous amount of muscular strength and mass.
They did a C2-C3-C4 fusion in order to stabilize the C3 .
Relief of the symptoms was almost immediate. I still have neuropathy in my hands. And am still a little unsteady when walking at times but all in all doing great. Strength is improving daily.
When considering the alternative if left untreated would have been paralyzed in a few months and eventually death I'm a happy camper.
