Cervical fusion of C3-C7 after L4-L5 and S1 - What to expect?

I will be having cervical neck fusion soon. My neurosurgeon told me that my lumbar spine looks awful and that he is sure I will be needing the same surgery there later on. He then told me that this cervical neck fusion will be much easier than the lumbar spine surgery I will probably be having later.

@meg8 - My experience may not be yours...but my 4-leve; ACDF was easier and faster in recovery. My 4-level lumbar work (though I'm glad I did it) was much more difficult.

One step at a time...
