And do you have any indication on when you'll be able to walk unassisted?
No and no.

If you had a job where you had to spend most of the time sitting in front of the computer and sometimes needed to get up to get documents you had to climb some stairs, would you be able to do those activities right now?
Sitting in front of the computer, yes.
Getting up now and then to get stuff, no. Both my hands are occupied with the walker when I'm standing or walking.
Climb stairs, hell no. Well maybe you could with crutches and it'd take forever, but I wouldn't try it in this situation.

I get around the house with a walker.

Ok bro, please be careful while walking around.. there are one too many instances of people falling down while consolidating and then taking months to heal.
It's been a smooth journey for you till now and I hope you're jumping about the house on a skipping rope a few months from now!

I will. In fact after Dr says I can walk(and he's already careful so he'll give me a later date), I'll wait a few weeks. I can't wait to walk and be fully independant but I'm taking zero chances.

hi i just wanna say congrats for taking this operation and being the first to undertake precise 2 under dr parihar. i was researching precise 2 and was excited to come across your diary as you are active and presently undertaking this (most of the diaries i was coming across were all old or archived)

i am very very happy for you and i am eager as to follow your progress as you grow esp since you are doing 6+cm.


i am in the middle of saving up for myself as well
im looking to have mines started by the summer of this year being accompanied with a very close friend

i have been reading thru so i have very minimal questions (i try to stay as well informed as i can) but i just wanted to ask is it possible to get dr parihar's email via private message?  it would be much appreciated, thank you

Update: 4 months post-op
I went to Mangal Anand a week ago and everything's fine except the callus formation is really slow and improvement is minimal. I got very lazy with standing/walking in January so it was expected. I've upped it to an hour a day from a measly 10 minutes a day(yes, I actually did that..) because if I went down that path it'd lead to serious complications. I literally almost wasted a month. Even with doing a lot of standing and walking, I'll probably get my fully formed bone and be cleared to walk unaided later than usual.

My right leg, muscle wise is awesome and my left is decent with some lag while doing exercises. Throughout this procedure I've had one good leg and one bad leg and they switch randomly. I wouldn't call my left a "bad leg" but the right is definitely better.

I'll update whenever. Life is uneventful as of now.

I don't think there is a fixed weight since bigger nails are used for taller people/people with bigger bones and they can take more weight. You'd have to ask your doctor at the time of surgery.

cool

Quick update: I asked Dr. Divya what the extra little scars on my thigh were and turns out my IT bands were released during the surgery. I'll include all this when I write a summary of my experience eventually.
