Keep your eye on the ball - the time and work will pass and you'll be back on the bike before you know it.
I've been there myself - so I can understand what you're going through. I had a 2 level cervical discectomy and fusion in October, 2004. Was off the bike a total of 14 months (5 months prior to surgery - 9 months after) . The weekend I was released from Dr's care, I went out and bought a new bike.
Good luck with your recovery.
