Suggest Chances Of Recovery Post Cervical Neck Fusion Operation

Hi, i have had a cervical neck fusion operation 8 days ago, and have not been able to pee after the op. I had a catheter in for 5 days, then removed it but still can t pee. So now they have put another catheter in for 10 days. I can feel my bladder being full when the first catheter came out for a few hours but just can t pee.What are the chances of making a full recovery?I was so disappointed when i could not go after the 5 days.
