Quote from: QuarkSoup on December 26, 2022, 07:08:34 PMDo you think it's a good idea switching to crutches? A few days ago I tripped and almost fell if it wasn't for the walker.
I should be okay, but I'll try tomorrow. If I have balance issues, I'll leave the crutches and switch back to the walker.
Got off of the walker today, and will be using crutches from now on. Also, I had to chance to try to walk unassisted, aiding by the nurse. I'm doing pretty well.
Congrats, how's the pain so far?

2/10. Really not bad. I don't take painkillers. Also, since I've started using crutches, more of my pain and muscle stiffness has vanished.
Pain during the night ups to a 5/10 and it wakes me up at like 3-4AM everyday though.
Hello @shortIsNotFun thanks for your update so far please keep them coming, do you think it's possible to work remotely as a programmer while lengthening? Can you focus and do your job ? How's does it feel after 3 weeks of the surgery.

Possibly. Depends on the individual. Hasn't even been 3 weeks since surgery.
I keep waking up at 3AM at night because of pain. I woke up today due to heel pain. I can't go to sleep. May need sleeping pills.

Day hasn't started. 5CM is goal.
Got my bandages changed again and had physiotherapy. Fatma is really nice and cares so much about her patients, you can tell. Also, the nurses care a lot as well. I haven't touched the walker since yesterday and prolly will never again.
I don't have an issue with falling asleep tbh. Around 10PM my eyes get so heavy that it's pretty much impossible for me to stay awake. What I have an issue with is staying asleep. I've noticed I wake up around 3AM every single day with pain. It's not terrible pain, but enough to keep you awake. The physiotherapists said the bones are healing around that time, and that's why you feel pain.
