Default Top 10 suggestions for surviving ACDF?

I'll be having an Anterior Cervical Disk Fusion (C6-C7) on April 22 and I'm pretty nervous about the recovery period.

If you've been there, done that, what things would you suggest I do to prepare and what suggestions would you have to make the recovery go as smoothly as possible?

BTW, I also have M.S. and some mobility problems - i.e., I wear an Ankle Foot Orthosis on my right leg to prevent toe drop and knee hyperextension. I understand walking around each day will be important and will sure do what I can. . .

Thanks in advance
