Sorry to hear about your injury and hope you get better soon :-)
Be careful with your travel insurance, because if your Dr says you can travel but you decide not to, then I doubt you can make a claim.
To claim on your travel insurance you will need a Dr's certificate stating you are 'Not fit to travel' So have a good chat to your neurosurgeon about it when you go.
Also, if the Dr advises you are not fit to travel, but you decide to go anyway... should anything happen in Bali to your back and you need medical assistance... the insurance won't pay out.
Personally, I would defer your trip if you can untill you are up to it. Having just done Bali with a fractured foot, crutches and wheelchair... it wasn't a lot of fun for me or my husband.
Good Luck :-)
