I'm new to the forum, so that should explain the late reply.
I had an L4-L5, L5-S1Laminectomy in 1994 at the age of 36. 3 days in hospital, 6 weeks at home recovering. I went back to work in a permanently limited capacity. My doctor gave me permanent restrictions of "25 pounds, pushing, pulling, lifting, or straining".
22 years later it's not great, but at least I'm not in a wheelchair. If you have any questions about it feel free to EM me.
I sincerely wish you the best in your recovery and future. It won't be easy, but ... watta ya' gonna do.
