Sounds encouraging!
Glad to hear the news!
My understanding is that fusions occur within 3-6 months. At the very beginning of my surgery discussion, I was told I could get back to outdoor activities this winter, but I allow my NS to reserve clearance until he sees the Xrays!
I am sure if your doc was comfortable, he must be confident it's safe!
Please tell about all the hiking, etc, so i can live vicariously this summer!
Best wishes!
