Can’t make the show, ended up catching them in ny. Anybody want my extra ticket?

I have grade 1 spondy at L5-S1 with bilateral pars defect and a herniated disc at that level. I’ve been in constant pain for 6 months and tried every conservative treatment and pt and doctor under the sun with moderate improvement at best. I’m getting a 360 lumbar fusion in a month and about 3 months from now I have a cruise that was planned before I even started having pain symptoms. I think it’s unlikely that I’ll be able to go or that I would even want to if I was physically up for it but I’m honestly just completely confused about the timeline of recovery. So obviously recovery is variable but do you think there is any chance I’d want to go? We have a backup that can take my place if needed
