l5 s1 fusion

I was told I have to have a fusion at l5 s1.  I have had two laminectomies there.  The doc will go in from my back.  What kind of recovery time am I looking at?  Wondering how long I will have to take off from work.

everything is on hold because of daddy.  I want to spend every bit of time I can with him.
