My Broken Neck Follow Up #3...

After my third visit to the Orthopedist Spine Specialist, I do not know much more about my current situation than I did seven weeks ago, when this all began.

X-rays of my C1 vertebra were taken (not easy because it is behind my teeth and my mouth can't be opened that far currently).
Dr. Z looked at them and was happy to report 0% movement of the fracture, meaning the brace is doing what it's suppose to do, stabilize while healing.
The unknown component of this process is the progress of the actual healing. That can only be determined with a CT scan. Since three months is the minimum recovery for this kind of break, that is when my next CT will be (~November 26th). I will know, definitively, on my next doctor's appointment, in early December, if all my diligence and homeboundness has paid off. So for now, I remain patient and at home. Keep sending those healing vibes. I still have a ways to go!
