how long did you have to do this before using it for slightly longer distances?

150lb but doctor said i'd be getting the medium rods from looking at my xrays
Many people can weight bear with Precice. Depends on your circumstances. If so, you can use the walker for longer distances. Say 100 meters. Longer requires wheelchair. I strictly use the walker within my apartment.
I was mentally and physically exhausted for over a month. Call it 10 weeks. After that, I started being able to produce intellectual work. But even after I stopped lengthening my legs were physically difficult

HI there. How much height did you gain?
Yes I was able to work a few hours a day after 2.5 months.
The first month, it would have been impossible.

Was it impossible because you were on painkillers or something else? and what about the second month?
What were your days like the first month? a lot of sleeping or something else?
Unrelated to painkillers.
Zero sleep in first month
Brain was dead
I know it's hard to fathom but you will not be your normal self right after the surgery
