Quote from: KiloKAHN on December 16, 2014, 09:19:25 PMSo Doc Parihar wants me to start walking with crutches now. A bit nervous in transitioning to crutches from the Zimmer frame. Would hate the thought of falling again. What's it feel like walking with crutches while wearing frames? Does it feel stable or does it feel as if you're going to topple over like a tree?
). Then you will get used to it, and remember left crutch, right leg, right crutch, left leg and keep your back straight and try to not look on the ground.Quote from: 123 on December 16, 2014, 10:07:36 PMI had big problems with walking with crutches first. I would take it step by step 5 min in afternoon and 5 minutes in the evening and ask for someone to stand next to you in case you will fall (which you won't but you will be thinking about falling a lot while starting to walk with crutches
After 3-4 days of "training" you will walk like champ, just concentrate on your movements and everything will be alright.
Quote from: KiloKAHN on November 27, 2014, 08:18:25 PMOut of the three people I told about it the only one who said anything to anyone else was my mom. She swore up and down that she wouldn't say anything to anyone and then last night in the car her friend's daughter says "That sucks you have to wear those for so long, I wish I was taller too". When she and my sister had gone into the store for a bit I pressed my mom for information and then she admitted how many people she told about it. I didn't realize that she was such a huge gossip. It's amazing that I can trust a friend from school with this information more than I could trust my own mother. Anyway, I'm not too upset about it because I was prepared for the possibility that it might be found out by some people, but I'd rather have had them figure it out on their own instead of finding out my mom betrayed my trust like that.
Hotel Maharana was cool. I never got hot because of the big ceiling fan and powerful air conditioner, and the HDTV on the wall was pretty big. Not all the staff spoke English but there were three managers there and one or two people who brought food in that knew English pretty well. But they were all helpful with getting me to Dr Parihar's clinic and helping me back in my room. The only things that were irritating were the step leading into the bathroom that made getting in there by walking difficult (I found it easier just to scoot into it on the floor) and the elevator was a little small so it took a lot of experimentation to fit inside it on the wheelchair. Vegetarian menu had some pretty good items. The tawa mushroom and naan was great. If you get tired of veg food though they have a non-veg section on the menu and you can get those meals within minutes because they order them from a hotel right next door. If I went back for another round of lengthening I might look for another hotel just so I could experience a new setting for the months required, but I wouldn't mind staying there again based on my experience the first time around.
I don't think I would have been able to keep it a secret from my parents anyway because of how I ended up having to do the bank transfer into Dr Parihar's account. I don't think I could trust anyone else to go on a joint account with me and transfer a large sum of money without taking any of it. In hindsight I could have just told my stepfather and I would have been better off.
That's what I did and only the guys I told listened. It seems like women are more inclined to spill out a secret because they get together and talk for hours about all sorts of things.
Yep. Though it's primarily people I don't even see or talk to that know about it. At least all the people I hang out with and see often are oblivious to my current situation.
