Yes please keep up posting updates.
I am scared to get spinal surgery. Most of the cases I've read about seemed to have gotten worse sooner or later.
I was also informed that I would need someone to live with me, a caregiver, for at least a week or two for assistance with every little thing, e.g., going to the bathroom, sitting up.

I live alone and have had multilevel fusions, both lumbar and cervical spine, 2011, had them 6 weeks apart. Other than having someone with me that first night I went home, I was ok. I’m pretty used to being alone. I DID need a housekeeper!
