Internal femurs with Dr Paley

Edit Post

Great Job, buddy.

No rush to walk right now, I promise you that. Just keep doing exactly what you're doing there.  One piece of advice... You look good so far and keep your torso straight up and down...no hunching over while on the walker. Since we are "leaning" on the walker so to speak our body has a tendency to want to bend at the waist and quadriceps area. Stay up and down and no bending over if you can avoid it.  This will help maintain your hip flexor mobility and assist in the prevention of anterior pelvic tilt.

I am especially rooting for you just do it! Let me know if you need anything.

Two weeks have passed and everything has been great. Big challenge ahead tomorrow. I have to get on a taxi to the physical therapy appointment by myself without the wheelchair, since there are no shuttle service on weekends.

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone's support and encouragement during the last two weeks.

Why do you want or need to do PT during weekend?  I was there but never really did PT during weekend. Plus, are you alone?  No parents or family?

Yesterday, I went to have my post-operation appointment with Dr. Robbins.  Everything is successful so far. However, my right leg is 3mm longer than my left leg. The doctor said this was not a big problem. I have to spend 3 more days after my whole lengthening process to fix this problem. Another news is that I can finally go swimming now. This definitely makes me feel better. The only way to sleep better now is to stretch more.

This is definitely not easy, but I'm glad that all is going well so far. I hope that this will continue through the whole process.

@Ghostfish: I have PT on Saturday because July 4th is a holiday so they changed the PT session to Saturday instead. My parents are with me for the whole process and I found that going on to a taxi without the wheelchair is not a problem.

Sounds great!  I am glad that you are with your parents as you should.  Just hang in there.  You should be fine!

Hi, Just do it.
Have you had any problems with taking a taxi without a wheelchair to go to PT?
Did you walk a short distance with crutches?
