I went to work at exactly two months to the day from four level ADR surgery; two cervical, two lumbar. I am the exception rather than the norm. I was in great shape prior to the surgery and pretty hard core. I also went back to driving immediately. The surgery takes some significant time to heal from. Cervical is easier to tolerate than lumbar in most cases. Listen to your body and let this be your big guide. Don't let your mind talk your body in to doing something the body is not capable of doing right off the bat.
Slow and steady wins this race.
This surgery can be like a roller coaster. Some days you will be eating the bear; some days the bear will be eating you.
Hang in there.
