I saw my surgeon today. I was hoping he would shout "Hallelujah it's a miracle! You are healed!". Well, that didn't happen. But there was no bad news either :-).
Today was my first look at my new titanium body parts. Rods in place with six screws. It was strange to see them, for some reason. But they looked good. They were set in place nicely. This was a "baseline" X-ray to track the fusion progress. I forgot to ask what % fused I was, so I'll ask gain at my next x-ray appointment which I think will be at my 3-month appointment.
The only disappointment I had was that he said we would talk about "weening" me off of a brace on August 26. I assumed at three months I would be done with my brace, the term "weening" makes me think it's not that simple. I start teaching that same week and I was hoping I would be teaching brace-free, but it doesn't look like it.
