    Evidently not, it's pretty much healed after three months. I know, it looks creepy!! Eh, but it is what it is.

    I was going over the images w my Dr today, and he didn't seem concerned at all. I suppose he's seen a lot worse... (fwiw, that's just a small cross section of the vertebrae, there is still bone holding it up -- I just picked the coolest images. heh heh.)

    I'm going to a physical therapist soon to see how to go about strengthening my back, and I'll probably start up Pilates again once I've met with the PT.

    At this point my back feels fine for the most part, but it does get fatigued over the course of a day, and my neck and shoulders are a bit stiff. But that can be chalked up to the fact that I haven't used those muscles much, if at all, over three months time.

    So all is good.
