Quote from: Rei on July 02, 2019, 09:58:48 PMI swear i tought you just remove them.
Looks great btw, you are going to remove them next month?
My doctor hasn't said anything just yet. i believe I will dynamize my frames and then maybe take them off in a month.
2018 - External Tibias - Dr. Bagirov, Baku, Azerbaijan / Moscow, Russia
So, today I had my left leg dynamized. The first 2 days don't feel good at all, the weight is all on my bones now, and it's painful in all of the weak spots. Goign to be difficult to walk today, but need to get outside
Did he remove some pins? How many?
Well, sort of. They release the entire apparatus from supporting your bones, and then reattach it. So, the apparatus is no longer bearing all the weight. My bones are now taking the most of the pressure on my left leg.
I have confirmation that my left leg can be removed in 1 month

Left leg has been removed!!
Gz 10 months for 5,5cm and you have still one frame on it’s a lot, you had any complications?
Yeah it's a long time. Some complications, ballerina, some duck ass. But it will be straightened out in physio I believe.
Scars

Looks like next week the frame is coming off
So far my left leg which has had the frame removed already is really strong once the frame is off. You really do get a lot stronger once it's off. Stairs are easy and I don't need crutches. A lot of stuff is easy to do, but I definitely need to work on my balance. But... if next week it's out, that puts a total of 333 days for everything to be done, and still need to have rehab done to get everything back to normal.
Pretty big sacrifice to take for 5cm, but I'll see how much I'm effected after the surgery.
Sounds amazing! That gives me hope, too:) Do you know when your frame will be removed exactly?
How many pins did you have inside each of your leg again? Because not everyone seems to have the same amount of pins.
