Karger, I am a week post-op right now. I do not think I could have handled it, no I know I could not have handled it alone. My 1st 4+ days were HELL, pay your friend's airline ticket, do what it takes (that will be best investment you will ever make) When you start closing in, lean on me (Zeegers & Axel Jung his partner in all lumbar surgeries) saved my spine. I know it's early to say it but that is how I feel. I can pass on some great techniques to deal with the post-op misery too. I had friends who helped me and I want to do the same
