i mean, sorry but didnt you do LON ?
Which means nails has been inserted inside and outside your tibia, knee,ankle!
How can you not feel pain?
while others who do this say they walk like penguins and normal walking is so hard to attain after such surgery....
Or is it because you are already extremely tall 175 or sth ?

I did LON indeed! my internal nail is like you can see on the X-rays (in my google doc) not that long. It ends at the last 1/3 of my Tibia. I never had pain when I walked, only in the beginning after 5 minutes walking because my bloodflow was not oke. But I never had pain because of the nail!

Now I am 171,5cm (so with 5cm lenghtening)

Kind regards

Hey Jolien,

Glad to hear that you are doing good.

Question:

When you were at the Theseus rehab centre, did they give you a schedule of when and what you can do there?

Can you use the PT center and the pool at anytime without a therapist?

Thanks

Dear,

they didnt gave me a shedule of things I could do on my own, but ofcourse if you let them feel you want to do more you can obviously! The physiotherapists will explain you excercices you can do on your own.

Because of my frame I was to scared for infections so I didnt used the pool. I think it is a pool with supervision only and to small to really swim. But like I said Theseus is not the only rehab centre in Athens and I found some with a big pool where you can swim.

I also had the idea that I would be active for the entire day but you feel that if you walked one hour and did two hours of excercices a day you are fed up already. But this is my own experience.

Kind regards

Jolien

With frames on you don't go swimming anyways. Only afterwards walking in the water is good.

Hi Jolien

Sorry the pool question was for Precise nail.

Is there a patio or outside area at the Theseus centre in which you can be in the sun?
I been looking at their site and could not  locate it.

Thanks
