Hi all,
You asked to see my before and after X-rays; here they are (surgery on 1/23), and yes, I know they aren't all thoracolumbar views. The first three are the most recent images I have from before surgery, while the last two are after surgery.
I saw the surgeon's fellow on Thursday; he took part in my surgery, and mentioned that my doctor was one of very few who would have even attempted to work on my spine, and he mentioned something about 80 degrees, which I'd never heard before (the highest number I had heard previously was 42 degrees). Anyways, I'm told that they spent an evening together planning how to do my surgery.

I hope these came out in the same order intended. If not, the images from 09/12/2011 were before surgery, and 02/09/2012 were after surgery.
