Chris -
I did the same thing you did. I had my 3-month checkup, got permission to drive and to take Motrin, a lighter brace, etc., etc. I must have also become over-confident, because I ended up with a sharp pain in my waist area in back and ended up flat on my back in bed for almost two weeks. I was so convinced I broke something that I went back to my doctor at 4 months exactly. Of course, everything was fine with the hardware and I received a gentle lecture about patience and rest from my doctor! You're right - it seems like forever and I keep feeling like I "should" be further along ...
