    Wow,I'm guessing that upper curve was the reason for the surgery (as in you weren't standing like that for the x-ray).
    But that is a lot of metalwork.

    But those are some great results! I hope for you that you get cleared soon.

    Yep I'm actually pushing down against a railing to straighten my back as much as possible in the first one.

    The metal must be a real improvement then. All the best to you for your recovery.

    Thanks everyone for the responses. After getting over the shock of the giant number facing me I had a moment of clarity this weekend. I was sitting on top of a mountain 10miles into a 20 mile hike and I realized preop I never would have made it here. My back would have been in severe spasms and I would have been lying down on the trail a few miles back, crying in pain and popping pain meds and muscle relaxers just to make it back to the car. So whatever the number really is it's ok because as soon as I'm cleared I am going to go so much further than I ever could preop

    That is awesome :)

    Congrats on a successful surgery, and best of luck in your rehab and healing :)

    Isometric holds to start then once your core is more solid move to body weight strength training.

    If you look at my photo, that muscle definition is solely from body weight strength training.

    Best of luck to you.
