Day 12

5.75 mm lengthened thus far!  Definitely stretch all the time!  Stay ahead of it!  I purchased a massage table to do stretches on; it is far superior to the soft beds.  Sleep is challenge because of the soft nature of the beds.

Feel free to ask any questions.

Day 13

Today was hard.  I was just tired all day.  Lots of support from everyone!  Hot showers are the best dealing with pain.

Awesome job !! You can do this! I found that things got a lot better once I was able to bend my knees - sleeping, transfers, etc - which happened around my second week. I'm sure things will get easier for you soon!

ps - i totally agree about hot showers for pain!

Day 20

First Post op follow up.  X-Rays show good distraction and bone growth.  Very sore legs, especially the left leg, but I am making progress.  PT is good and the stretches are wonderful; hopefully I can start Saturday sessions so I don’t go a full 48 hours without professional PT.  13.75 mm thus far

Day 24

Memorial Day weekend is hard since there is no PT Monday.  Luckily I got cleared to submerge underwater so I can go in the pool.  The pool is a wonderful place to do stretches.  17.75 mm
