Quote from: Arcon on August 19, 2020, 09:59:55 AMMaybe you should do the opposite, 6cm in the femur and 4cm in the tibia. The less the better imo when it comes to tibia. Very best of luck anyway.
actually from experience of my roomate. He said it is harder to do pt when you go longer on femur. Because of thick muscles around the thigh. And my physical therapist said that alot of his patience achieved more than their goal on tibia, like from 5 to 6 or even more. Finger crossed! Hope that is the case for me.

Today 08/21 is my fourth day. I have been having mood swings. I have been having fever on and off also. So i think mental support is very important and keep thinking positive. Everyday past you are getting better. Dr Lee whole team is amazing such nurses, caretaker, especially Hailey. If you are an international patient, you most like work with her. She has been helping me a lot.
Onething to take note, most of the nurses don’t speak english or very little. Hailey will help you but make sure you can basically communicate with them through translation app.  LON with dr Lee in mid August[/img]
