Maybe 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.  [/img]

Did my first pt session.
First xray
Everything is fine.
The physical therapist said my flexibility is above average which make me feel confident and move my legs bit more.
When i get back to my room i hah pain on my left knee really bad to the point that i dont feel my left leg anymore. So i asked for some pain medication. It does not work much. I keep change my leg position, eventually lucky me i found a position that does not hurt that bad and the pain calm down a bit.
