Post pre-surgery test done

My surgery is Monday so I went today and had all of my pre-surgery test done..They even put my hospital braclet on me and I have to wear it to work tomorrow.They said if it comes off I'll have to have my tests done again I'll probably get a lot of stares but I don't care.....I have my recliner ready and a hand held shower and straws.What else do I need? Will I be able to climb strairs when I get home? If not how long will it be? Wish me luck please..

C2-3, disc protrusion which contacts but does not compress
C3-4, disc protrusion with bone spurs, neural foraminal narrowing.
C4-5 large disc protrusion with bone spurs compressing the cord, severe canal stenosis
C5-6 disc protrusion with bone spurs compressing the left cord, severe stenosis
C6-7 disc protrusion with bone spurs but does not compress the cord, neural foraminal stenosis.
C7-T1 is normal
T2-3 disc protrusion which contacts but does not compress

Conclusion:
Severe canal stenosis secondary to disc protrusion at C4-5 and C5-6 with mild cord volume loss at these levels.

-Surgery Set for- 18 Sep 03-4 Level Lamin. with plating

Climbing stairs is no problem, I live in an upstairs apartment and had to walk up 3 levels, you won't be able to see you feet if you have a neck brace on so hold on to the rails or wall so you don't trip.....
Best Wishes to you on surgery day.
