Will I ever recover from my operation for spinal stenosis?

Thanks, My biggest fear is that I won't be able to bike. I have been a cyclist my whole life and that was how I got around before the surgery because walking triggered throbbing calf muscles. I can walk now without the throbbing happening, but I feel unsteady a bit and also I developed a sharp pain on my left side when I get in and out of a chair. I have to do that extremely mindfully.

How aboit slow pedaling on a stationary bike if the doc says that's a controlled enough activity. Could help you mentally also since cycling is so part of your identity. Controlled safe exercise, esp inside away from traffic, etc is best?
