Got my 6 weeks out X-Rays! It's interesting to finally see what I've been feeling this whole time. Some of the recovery pain makes a lot more sense now, as does the stiffness I feel when moving certain ways. I am very happy to see correctly placed metal, especially in reference to the first surgery. Healing is slow and will continue to be slow, with an estimated 8ish months before I'm really back to somewhat regular movement. I'm happy though, as already I notice an improvement with regards to my stability. My back isn't crumbling in on itself anymore and for that I'm immensely grateful. Obviously though, the pain is still bad but hey, makes sense doesn't it?
