Best wishes and fervent prayers for a full recovery. An empathetic/aging audience is here meanwhile. We feel your pain.

Best wishes for you and with your upcoming surgeries. There’s no reason to think that you can’t get back close to what you were before. This is true. You’ll fish again and you won’t always hurt like you do today. It’s easy to forget that while the situation has you down. Golfing? Wait & see. Golfers aren’t right anyway. Reminds me of ice fishermen. Just not right,

You'll still be able to golf but it'll be 2-3 years before you can do it again. I had S1-L5-L4 fused in 2014 it was 3 years before I could jump off of the tailgate of a pickup, I couldn't run for 1 1/2 years, it just takes time.
My neighbor had L4, L5 fused and he was back to golfing inside of 2 years. the first time he tried it was about a year after surgery, he walked off after his first swing and went back and tried it again about 7 months later, he finished 9 holes and the next time he went he did 18.
My advice is be damn sure of your surgeons capabilities, use a neurosurgeon not an orthopedic surgeon.
Afterwards when trying things if it hurts stop what your doing and try again in 6 months, don't push it for any reason.

Prayers sent Rocky
Man, you've sure had- am having a bad string right now. I had a tooth pulled and suffered through about 12-15 Novacaine injections while he dug out infected tooth parts while awake, every time he hit the nerve another jab of juice was administered, then a 2 week bad pain event. Sounds like a stubbed toe in comparison.
Hang tuff, and best wishes to full recovery, golfing and catching bass come springtime.

Tough spot Rocky. Easy to give in. Don’t! Keep going and look forward to each hour, day, week, month, etc…. .
I’ve experienced similar “tough spots”. Although likely much younger than you at present I can relate to the feelings of doom. Do what you can each day and revel in the accomplishments.
Careful with the opioids, easy to get a false sense of well being. Don’t get me wrong, they are helpful and necessary in situations. Just recognize when their use is counterproductive. Fine line.
Wish you well and hope to continue reading your posts here for many years to come.

I've had back pain every day since 2011. It gets old and is no fun. Surgery helped some.

Hang in there. That which does not kill you will make you stronger. I’m living proof of that. “They” say pain is God’s way of letting you know you are still alive. If I knew I was gonna live this long, I would have taken better care of myself. I’m presently recuperating from Covid caught in Oct 2020. Wound up with Covid pneumonia, Covid heel and toes, trach, stage 4 sacral wound big enuff to put my fist in, colostomy, about 10 operations and abradments. Was on a ventilator and 3 of us survived. Woke up and could only move my thumbs and speak with trach button. Wound up amputating toes and heel and eventually the left leg. Woke up in a foreign land run by socialists in the highest office. Spent 14 months away from home in specialty hospitals and nursing homes. Caught pneumonia about 6 X, numerous UTIs, Foley catheter for 7.5 MONTHS and intermittently for non flo and operations. Also had breathing meds to react to heart meds. FaceTimed wife goodbye on a borrowed cell phone. Sons planned my funeral for 3 weeks couldn’t find my flash drive with my plans. Feel like Lazarus - shouldn’t be here above ground. Only prayers, providence, and a good wife brought me thru this. You have a soul and will live somewhere forever and you have a choice as to where. When you are totally dependent upon others for your care and well being, it humbles you. You appreciate each and every little thing. I know about pain too and often wondered how Christ willingly bore the pain of the cross. Another thing, phantom pain is very much real. Often have bouts of it in nonexistent leg. On the mend at home now. Driving and moving about in wheelchair, Walker and some with cane. Working on my main most job of spoiling grandkids, mentoring young people, cooking and shooting pistols and rifles. Still have problems sleeping and flashbacks. Wife too. Hope you get well soon.

If you get lucky you'll be playing golf and fishing. My back surgery didn't come out nearly as well as my neck surgery. But I got my life back and hopefully you will also. I totally believe that a persons brain can only handle a certain amount of pain. Your pain just got to be more than the mind can handle.
Life is good live it while you can.

Despite the crappy luck, good will eventually come out of it. You will find ways to make it work if you are willing to do things differently and not give up.
