After say the first few weeks, when you're home and the whole process begins, can you spend a lot of time sitting in a chair? What about sitting upright on the bed and keeping your laptop on your lap?
Quote from: TRS on February 13, 2016, 06:26:09 PMSitting upright on a chair or on the bed for long periods is not recommended during femur lengthening. It can cause the quadriceps to shorten and risk contractures of the hip.
What would you call "long periods"?
Are 1 hour periods 2-3 times a day okay?

It's very, very hard to maintain quad and hip flexibility while recovering and trying to work. It makes recovery take a lot longer. I know ShyShy said he was able to focus solely on his recovery when he did the surgery, which I think is another reason he had such a fast and amazing recovery.
Damn. So did you use your laptop/sit on a chair for a while during the procedure anyway? How did you cope with it?
And for how long should we not sit upright/on a chair for long periods of time? 2 months? 3 months? I mean, I'm gonna have to use my laptop to surf the net or for work related stuff.. 
With the neck(and above) region up? That's supposed to severely strain your neck.
