stryde might come back by then

ty!!! So if stryde comes back for tibias, then it should in theory be better than precise 2 because it is weight bearing/should recover faster?

i just got an email from dr gdalevitch's office saying stryde has been permanently taken off the market and wont come back, so now maybe we have to wait for a new weightbearing nail

How are you managing with 8.5 nails? You cannot even stand, isn't it? Do you sit on the wheelchair and brush your teeth and shower? How about going to meet the doctor and daily physio? In Mumbai it must be very hard to get around as it is anything but accessible.

I've hired a 24 hours caretaker. He brings a bucket, a brush, and toothpaste to me. I brush my teeth on the bed itself. I use a wheelchair taxi service to go to the hospital. I just stay on the bed and use a wheelchair commode chair to go to the toilet. For the initial 2 weeks, I was  ting on the bed itself on the bed pan.

That sounds tough! This is probably the strictest non-weight-bearing regimen I have known. Perhaps it is warranted for the 8.5mm nails.

And what about the PT? You do it by yourself on the bed?

How are you holding up mentally? Do you have any company other than the caretaker? Do you get a change of scenery other than your room? I encourage you to go out once in a while if possible.

Yeah, mentally it's very tough. I am also getting some breathing issues every once in a while. I do have 2 other guys as housemates other than the caretaker. I don't want to go out man. People stared at me like crazy when I entered the apartment building on a wheelchair. I am doing PT on the bed and I have a peddle cycle as well. Caretakers help with the PT.
