7 months post-op: what MORE should I expect?

[mpolyglottos]

Hi everyone,

I haven't posted for a long time. I'm 7 months post-op exactly, and am doing pretty good overall.
I'm still icing my back before resting--it doesn't hurt B4 I rest, but if I lay down on my back, then it will eventually suffer some discomfort.
Dr. Zeegers said my back would be "up and down" for 6 months: I'm hoping this does NOT mean that my back won't CONTINUE to improve after the 6 month milestone.
I was sort of hoping to have an Avatar Body just a few weeks post-op, which wasn't realistic.
At any rate, I was just wondering how much MORE to expect, if anything, as far as my continued progress.
The first 6 months show milestone after milestone--I could definitely notice a difference each and every month. Things lately have "plateaued", but I'm hoping that my spine and continue to improve, however imperceptible it may seem at present.
Any feedback would be appreciated. THANKS!
