I Level Lumbar Fusion and Laminectomy

A week from today I will undergo 1 level lumbar fusion/decompression for severe spinal stenosis and L3 spondylothesis.

I am 67 years old and in very good health.

Wondering what others who have undergone this same type of surgery experienced the 1st week out of surgery. It sounds miserable and I am hoping I am mentally prepared for this.

Thank you!
