I won't be able to take more than a month off from work. I'll need to go back after that, and my job requires me to stand behind a register (I run a business).
I'll have help to carry stuff and I'll be able to sit most of the time, but I'll still need to be there for atleast 20 hours a week.

Is this possible with crutches 1 month post surgery? (during the lengthening phase)
I'll be doing the precise 2.0 method or perhaps the new full weight bearing precise that's coming out soon.

Is this possible? I really want to do this surgery but my work obligations are hard to go around.
also, can you walk up/down stairs during the lengthening process? my house is two stories and i'll need to walk up and down the stairs pretty frequently.

appreciate any replies, and sorry if the question is dumb. I just want to know if others have experience with this

Quote from: Sky is the Limit on July 30, 2023, 08:34:33 PMI would also be interesting to know this. I work behind a computer and can work remotely 100 % of the time. I don't want to take more than a month off from work and I am therefore considering working from home during the lengthening phase.

I don't think you'd have any issues tbh

the problem with my situation is that I have to leave the house and type while standing + move around
