Did your cousin have one level only done? What was recovery time ? What is your cousin's age? Was he put to sleep?

@pablo81 My cousin is an 80 year old man who had one lumbar level done with a laminectomy. After the first week, he was improved and stopped using pain medicine, and after 2 weeks, he wasn't in much pain at all and was returning to his usual activities. He had to change a bandage daily, and after the first week, it was dry when he changed it. He was taking it easy of course, and after a month, he wasn't even thinking about the surgery anymore. He said it wasn't hard to go through.

This procedure is done under anesthesia in the operating room.
