Result of appointment

I have severe central stenosis and spinal cord compression at C4/C5, so am now scheduled for a 2 level laminectomy with posterior fusion using instrumentation and cadaver bone. Diagnosed with both myelopathy and radiculopathy. Surgery in about a month. After surgery my spine will be 100% fused due to a combination of surgical fusion from C4-C6 and the auto-fusion from 30 years of ankylosing spondylitis. Very worried about ability to continue to work full time, ability to drive a car, and ability to do things with my family like fishing and some golfing after recovery due to the complete fusion.

Any and all advice or personal accounts is very, very much appreciated!
