Hi Berylyboo, I have just joined this forum and am scheduled for a three-level ACDF at C4/5, C5/6 and C6/7 on the 21st of this month. I am, admittedly, terrified because I have read so many posts from people who have not had good outcomes. How did your tri-level surgery go, and do you have any suggestions for me as to how to make things go easier? I have three disks impinging on the spinal cord, the worst being 4/5 and 6/7. I am divorced and have no family around me, so I am particularly concerned about how long it will take for me to be able to drive, etc. I will be able to go into a nursing facility post-op....otherwise, I would not be able to do this....but I do not know how long I will be there. Thanks, ABBB
