LATN Femurs - Dr Singh

Edit Post

hey bluebarbie,

your recovery looks like it's going really well.  just based on the videos alone I honestly wouldn't even guess that you were struggling.  by far the best recovery ive seen so far for someone who did external femurs

and your walking looks excellent. any reason why you're still using crutches?  seems like you're essentially full weightbearing now since you can use the elliptical, etc.  I recently started walking again and doing everything I can to get my walking back to normal ASAP

I dont know, i m allowed to walk with one support in the house or short distances but two when outside. I m still scared to put too much weight on my legs although i can walk with one support which i seldom do. I talked to my doctor about it just yesterday again and he said he will see if he can allow me full weight bearing next month after checking my x rays.

Met the plastic surgeon from korea. Feeling said. I have started working again as my main career as fashion designer and these scars are great obsticles and set limitation for my work one way or another. . As i want them off asap i still have to do intensive pt for my knees to bend and it takes my time off from my work or leaves me more stress.

 
Above are my xrays taken today and my current knee rom.
i got permission from my doctor to stop using my crutches. .. .i have been wanting this moment and waiting for it so long but now im feeling scared to do so. .to walk without them. .Help me please.

 ;DThe happy update
The above two photos are like 10 days apart.
My legs have been bending past 90' since last week. The available usable range for me now is around 90'. I find it easier to bend or push the bend harder and the progress faster now.
I am able to stand for quite long without crutches at work and in showers and i also manage to walk a few steps like from desk to desk at work without my crutches. But i m still feeling scared that i might bend the nail or snap my bones while doing so after all that i have gone through and now nearing the end.

Congrats for the progress bluebarbie. Im sure that you are going to feel better every  month . Keep working and in no time you will be walking and bending like before the surgery . This only needs a bit more of time.
