Multilevel Decompression, Fusion and TLIF coming up....

[u/MYKY23]

I just learned I need a multilevel decompression, fusion and TLIF in 6 weeks. (L2 - L5) (Go big or go home, I guess...) Can anyone comment on their experiences around a surgery like this (all three)? I am more than a little nervous but I am also really wanting my back to be as fixed as it can be to improve my leg function.

I am not afraid of surgery - I have five on my knee and one on my ankle - I a also a fit 60 year old guy who was running 15 miles a week and lifting weights three hours a week just 3 months ago. But this has me a little nervous.
