Hi @strongwoman - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I think it's natural to be wondering about recovery from any spinal surgery, and the experiences of others can be helpful to hear about.

Tagging fellow Mayo Clinic Connect members who may have had first hand experience with cervical spine surgery, cared for a loved one or just researched a lot related to this type of surgery and be able to tell you how recovery might go @jenniferhunter
@bilt4pain @steelme43 @morkat.

Are there specific activities important to you that your are wondering if you can do during recovery, strongwoman?
