DH had 3 surgeries. Two lumbar and one neck. Last one was about 10 years ago. Still skiing bumps at 77 yo.
The advice he always gives people going through this is be religious about doing Physical Therapy exercises and don't overdo. It took two surgeries for him to heed his own advice on that last point.
But seriously, you will recover fully much faster if you take it slow and steady. If you push it, you will backslide and lose time. If you don't do the exercises faithfully, same outcome. Trick is finding that sweetspot. And he does some kind of exercise every day still. Pilates, yoga, weights etc. This is for life, not just recovery time.
PS... I should say his bump skiing is much better than before as he now skis with more grace and finesse rather than brute force.
Good luck to you!
