I'm having a 2-level fusion l4-s1 on friday. i am not really worried about it, i know its major and the risks. is my lack of concern normal?

Yes: When one understands and accepts the risks and benefits, there is no reason to be overly concerned. A degree of concern is natural but it is obvious you have confidence in your surgeon.
