Thanks for these, dude. Neither my surgeon/doc nor the hospital gave me any exercise pamphlets, sites or directions for anything othercthan telling me to logroll in and outta bed.
Had exact same symptoms as you had and most likely similar surgery, last week, and doing great. Your exercises are excellent , thank you! I’m a runner who runs 30 - 60 minutes twice a week.. in your opinion, do you think I’ll be able to return to this once fully recovered?
I think you can get back to that. I would find a physical therapist that specializes in working with runners. You will want a plan that is very thorough and slowly progresses. I'm about a year out now and getting back to running 2-3 miles in intervals of half mile to 1 mile at a time. Running hasn't been my primary focus though since I would line to return more to CrossFit and some weightlifting. However, I would like to be able to run longer distances such as 10 miles or a marathon if I wish which I know is possible.
It’s very irresponsible not to mention when to start , someone can see this might think start next day . Why not mention rough time range after surgery ?

I'm sorry they didn't give you much guidance! Unfortunately, I find that's typically the case.
At what time frame after surgery would you start doing these exercises
Very helpful. Thank you.
My leg fingers are not moving. I have second time Spine surgery. How can I do these exercises?
