Stock your house with food. Pre-cook and freeze so you don't have to work hard to eat. Get things set up so you don't need to bend over to pick things up. This would seem like it would be less important with a c-spine procedure than with l-spine but you're going to be limited in how much you can tilt your head. Getting most of your life's necessities setup between waist and shoulder level will help. Make sure that someone else is around to run any errands because, even if you can drive (which is unlikely), you aren't going to want to drive.
