Hi, I wanted to give you all a quick update. It's been 2 weeks since I got back to London. I think I'm doing well... considering. I went back to the office last week on a reduced schedule and it went well, my legs feel heavier by the end of the day but Dr G says that's normal. I was pleased to find that Dr Giotikas remained very responsive even after I left Athens (which was my secret worry, tbh!). In any case my Dr suggested I lengthen more slowly now that I'm back home and not under the time pressure to get home. He says this will go easier on my muscles, while not prolonging my full recovery (but only the percentage of lengthening time within the same total recovery time). I'm still doing 15 clicks now (that's 1mm/day), but I might consider going slower later, as I only do 2 physio sessions a week, which is "barely enough" according to Dr Giotikas.

hi, based on your experience where do you recommend staying in athens city? is it worth looking for a separate airBNB or just rely on the accommodation DR G provides?

And did you take any blood thinning medications for your flight journey?

Hi, I stayed at the grand hyatt and it was very good. The "Rehab apartments" are also a good value for money, I think they are equal if not better than a random airbnb apartment in Athens. I think the doctor's options are generally good, unless you want to spend more money on luxury hotels or villas etc. Yes, the doctor put me on anticoagulants until I got back home.

hi,

as you did not use DR G's acommodation,

did you still get to use the driver and physio team of DR G? does the driver support patients who stay in their own hotel?
and did the physio team come your hotel?

Hi, I bought a VIP personalized programm, so I had my dedicated driver, and physio was coming to my place. The standard driver though accommodates patients staying at their own apartments or hotels, if they are near (10-15 min walking distance) to the the rehabilitation apartments or the affilliated hotels of the clinic. It is like a shuttle service
