I just saw this. I've been away.

I would second the gradual return to work schedule and watch out for any lifting and reaching, especially overhead!!

Tell the silly people that they basically surgically fractured your neck to relieve nerve pressure. That's what a decompression is if they have to do anything with the bone (correct me if I'm wrong but I thought they had to do some boney decomp and a fusion maybe in your case). That should give them some perspective.
