Thanks for writing, Susie. It does seem that in the past year or so there's been a surge of ultra-fast recoveries, and I've wondered about it myself. I have to say that I agree with your overall assessment of the surgery -- glad I had it done, life's good, but it hasn't been quite what I expected either. At almost three years post-op, I'm pretty sure I've "peaked" -- my biggest improvements came between one and two years.
I wonder if surgeons are getting better and better at fusion technology. I know I've seen less anterior incisions than I used to, and certainly less thorocoplasties. I think the increased use of BMP has also speeded up fusion times, so that people seem to regain their flexibility and return to normal activities more quickly.
Hhmmm...Interesting to think about.
