Hey, we're twins! I lost T12 (burst fracture) and am fused T10-L2. It sounds like you had more damage to your spinal cord than me—I was able to "walk" (held up by nurses) the day after my operation, but it took months to progress from walker to cane to walking free. Now I'm easing back into running, cycling, climbing, hiking, and otherwise normal life.
Like you, I'm surprised at my range of motion. Really it only changed my, uh, thrusting action until I figured out the new hardware.
I'm glad to hear that you're doing well. We are soft things in such a hard world. We are lucky to be here.
