Here's wishing all of you well and May God Bless You! Thank you for your help and time.

What type of surgery did your husband have?
It seems there are a few surgical approaches to spinal stenosis:
1. Laminectomy 2. Intraspinous spacer implantation 3. minimally invasive lumbar decompression (MILD)
The Spine-health forum lists a bunch of different surgeries
Perhaps knowing the exact procedure and the levels involved could inform how long he'll need to rest up for.
