Quote from: nomad13 on February 18, 2020, 09:42:10 AMDay 129: In past I use to feel right leg bit as prosthetic, like I could feel its not united, now I feel both united, can walk unaided but still using elbow crutches when I go out just incase, walking right after sitting or laying down can be bit hard but can manage after like three or four steps.

Day 130 means you’re about 4months in.  Do you take any supplements or do any consistent Walking/pt .  I’ve read walking a lot is what’s going to build callus faster and an extremely large protein diet. ( that’s actually supported in all doctor notes/cases).   

So at 4months would you say you’re able to go back to work?   I’m able to take a 6mths Haitus from my job next year but would definitely prefer to make money sooner than later lol

Day 131: Someone asked to upload barefoot walking video, so here it goes, and some update of my condition, I can walk for some good distance(200 meters or more without aids) without feeling pain, but my gait is still not perfect I am working on glutes.

About diet, from last one month, am having high protein diet to the least 500gm of meat(mostly chicken) everyday(two meals), whey protein two scoops a day, calcium, d3 and magnesium tablets, some fruits, and oats with yogurt plus almonds and cashews for breakfast, am training in both gym and PT.

I did answered part of your question in last comment, when it comes to work, in a way I have been working remote on and off, in my case I would say I was able to go back to work after 3 or 3.5 months(with elbow crutches) they don't look as bad as armpit crutches or walker or wheelchair, so you can get by. I even had to travel last two weeks for work with long flights and it worked out.

Look troll I never said I was giving you my number. I said meet up or shut up. Stop hi jacking people’s diaries with your bs.

Where are mods at they don’t ban stuff like this?

Holy smokes That diet is intense! 500g+ of protein , your callus must be consolidating super  nice! That’s a big diet lol.   i have protein powders and gelatins in my amazon cart , Just been working on getting my doctor to give me the note so I can start getting the med visa lol.

  And i don’t really know much about gaits but is that close to how you normally walk?

* my job is a sales type job where I’m on my feet for 9-12hr days.  So I’m hoping after 4mth I can recoup some of the money.  Can’t use crutches since it’s in fashion unfortunately. Looking injured would just get me “sent home til I recover”.  So hopefully I can do it unaided by 4th mth mark

Thanks, i do workout so kinda trying to go with diet for bulking, from third month i could stand for like 1 hour without any issue, two weeks back i went out with colleagues to some club I was on feet for around 3 - 4 hours didn't feel much of pain but felt tired, I guess callus growth depends on person to person in the case of BlueHen it was bit better than mine and he is already back being normal.

But yeah its better if you could find some 5 to 6 months of off time so you don't have to rush yourself, especially if your job is on feet for long hours, can understand money is one big b*tch its not just what you pay for surgery all the time you sitting idle without working counts in as an expense.

Gait is your body posture when you walk I guess(I dunno much science lingo either) and its not how I use to walk(pre-surgery) trying to work on my glutes so it could go normal, and good luck with your med visa and everything

My bad man I thought i replied to you. Thanks for all the info.   How do you like this doctor?   ( I’m still leaning with parihar  since he has legit paley training and does a lot of conservative repairs and lengthening) but sharma seems like a second nice option. 

But what did you think about them being  under their care for all that time. 

But darn I was definitely hoping I could’ve done it in 4. Now I guess I have to work more now to cover the 2months I can’t work ( my apartment doesn’t allow Airbnb so I can’t make money off it while I’m away it seems  sadly ).

So a maximum of 3-4months is what I can do. ( I only plan on doing 5-5.5cm under 6 for sure so I’ll be in that 3-4month timeframe of away) .

Thanks man the med visa is a little annoying becuase most doctors in the states keep asking me why do I want to leave the states to do surgery and making it annoying difficult to not tell them my personal life lol.

My experience been positive so far with Dr. Sharma.
For 6cm you be in lengthening for 60 to 75 days(it's better to slow down from 1mm per day to 0.75mm or 0.50mm in last days, plus you'd wait till two weeks from surgery before you start lengthening, considering 84 days to the least, you need another two months as in most cases to be on elbow crutches or to have any decent mobility.
