You still serious about it man? Would you do it with precice or just wait and chill for Stryde's return. This seems like a great diary and recovery btw, thank you for the diary SuchLL!

Glad you found this diary helpful! One of the main reasons I want tibia lengthening is I recovered fast from femur lengthening, so I only consider tibia with stryde. Tibia lengthening is not a “must to have” for me.

Thanks! Hope I can do it in September this year, but not sure if stryde will be back by that time...

I recall you have a big SUV that can fit a wheelchair. Is this like a wheelchair accessible van?
Or you get up from wheel chair and get into the car, then someone put the wheelchair in the SUV trunk?

Wondering how long till you're able to drive a car? Do you need someone to drive you even during consolidation period?

I'm thinking of renting an apartment (15 mins drive from paley). Does driving a bit longer will be a problem? Like your legs may become too discomfort if sit a too long...

Thanks in advance!

Depends on person. I can drive after 1.5 months. My quards muscles are tight. I can only drive for 20 mins until my knee pain kick in.

I only had a mid size suv, just big enough to carry the wheelchair. I had stryde nail at that time so I only used wheelchair twice and quickly switched to walker. My mom was with me so I never tried to drive. It’s not comfortable to sit in the car for the first month when I was still taking pain meds. I think I could probably drive after 1 month.

During surgery/hospitalization, did they put you in catheter?
I read this happens when they gave you epidural as you will be paralyzed mid down. Wondering if it was painful? It kinda freaks me out..

I had the same concern before the surgery lol. I didn’t use catheter and I was told most people don’t need it.
