I am having two vetabra fused in the morning.(L2&L4) taking 3 out
How long is it going to be before I can even think about riding
I think I read several months ago that one of US had it done

In 2000 I was rear-ended by a large Sedan while at a red light.
Broke the lamina of L5 and S1 on both sides, and crushed the disks at L4-L5 and L5-S1.
The other broken Vertebrae is higher in my back and I may still have surgery to repair it.
Two years of therapy prior to surgery just prolonged the pain that on most days was a 7 and a few days a week it was 8 or 9 with both sciatic nerves inflamed with just about every move I made.
Said all that to say this:
Had Dual Laminectomies & Discectomies with a lot of bone carving and shaping by the neurosurgeon.
Explicit Photo Warning: P1 P2 P3 P4 P5
Woke up from the Op with Zero Pain for the first time in 3+ years.
A week later the surgery scars/site soreness had all but gone.
Two weeks after that I asked the Doc about Riding my LT, and said as long as your not bent over for any extended periods, and if I Swear not to even think about lifting it if I drop the bike, then go for it.
I rode from The Casa to Gatlinburg for CCR (Curve Cowboy Reunion), a BMW/Lux Touring annual gathering.
I had zero problems with riding, and I stopped about every 2 hours for breaks.
Of Course: YMMY
Best of luck with your surgery!
