Not sure this is good?

Really you need to have a professional interprete this report for you. But my reading as non professional is that there may be slightly more pronounced BUT this in itself could be open to interpretation and I would think that nothing much has changed.

Thank you. Yeah not much has changed it appears. Disappointing, my fear all at my age of 60 is that the bone will not graft. My brother's first fusion failed and he had to have another surgery.

Had post op appointment with surgeon. He was not concerned with the xray results. He said to continue to use the bone stimulator device and I will have another xray in 3 months. He also okayed otc pain meds. I am cautiously optimistic!
