Surgery of the cervical spine: What was ACDF like for you?

Good morning everyone, yesterday I seen my neurosurgeon and was offered ACDF surgery on my C4/ C5/6 C6/7 I don’t have the norm of weekness in my arms but I do have them in my legs I will drop things and have constant pain in my lower back I am concerned if I don’t have the surgery now it will get worse I am 58 years old and if it got worse I can loose bladder control and maybe loss contiguous my legs I know there is the unknown:( so my question is have others had the same ? If so what was the surgery like for them ? And your experiences
Take care
