Hi and welcome to the forum. You will find great information here. No one can really help you making the decision for surgery. Maybe a family member. Find a surgeon you can speak openly with and discuss the medical point of view.
At an older age there is always something but make sure to discuss that. Just know that if you are active in your life now that you want to continue that for as long as possible.
Once you trust your decision, the rest moves forward.
Stay as healthy as you can and read information that you find. There is a lot of information on spine surgery and recovery.
