L5 S1 surgery recovery: what to expect re: what I can do for myself?

@profevl interesting, I talk for a living. Radio mornings. Sitting and talking are what I'll need to see how I recover. I do get a vascular surgeon for the front on my surgery. They said my hardware will connect to my Harrington rod and they will put in metal rods in the pelvic area too. Thanks so .

@bdiver1verizon, I talk a lot too. I'm a Professor, PhD engineering & minerals and energy economics, post-grads only, so talking is necessary. I'm just at a loss as to why my voice has gone awry, when I'm certainly not straining anything during recovery?
Anyway, yes, for your connection to H.Rod, I'd surmise a vascular surgeon is also necessary.
Somewhat fortuitious is that I was/am very healthy (193cm (6'4"), 102kgs (225 lbs)) and have been sports-active all my life. In fact, it's high-impact sports that pushed me into the surgery, and hopefully with life-style changes, I'll avoid further surgery (L4L5 and L3L4 are both bone-on-bone with their respective discs obliterated - but no nerve impingement).
