Appreciate your answers, as I cannot take off that amount of time and my job is not a physical one.

Yes, I was able to get in and out of the car and you could be seated. You will have to take probably a short time off of work. Obviously, back surgery is a major surgery. One of my recommendations is also go to a sports affliated physical therapist. I went to Catz Sports and their staff did a great job of doing funtional types of movements to help in the rehab. I think you could still do your job if you had to. Just be dilligent with your therapy.
Pastor Bama hit the nail on the head. When working out and/or playing any sports, you have to be conscious of your limitations. I would love to be back playing full contact ice hockey but I dont think its a smart idea especially at my age (43). I played golf a few months after my surgery and shot a 75 (Par 72, best score of my life). So I belive you can do anything you wish, within reason!!
