There was a poster Dano, who some time ago had a single level Charite I think at L5-S1. After surgery/recovery time he resumed his job as a firefighter who would walk up stairs, etc. carrying at least 50 lbs. of gear.
(But my surgeon, John Regan, told me not to lift more than 30 lbs. post-surgery after a two level ADR that I chickened out of). Best of luck - Allan
