Do you remember how long the doctor said it would take to walk without crutches once you stop lengthening? And in your experience how long do you think it would take to return to what looks like a "normal" gait?

my vague memory, could be wrong:
for gnail:
3 month mark after surgery (shortly after stopping lengthening) -> wide stance penguin walk possible, head elevation changes as do this, uncomfortable?
5-6 month after surgery -> closer to normal walking (so i guess like 2-3 months after stop lengthening) ?
Any veteran wanna chime in? Is my memory wrong?
what questions do you think are best to ask novotel? thinking of doing novotel internal tibias. last time for montaza I regret not asking them the size of the TV before I brought my HDMI cable

Which of these looks normal to you?
thinking the easiest way to start a hamstring stretch from sitting position is:
cross legs, put one leg on top of the other, start leaning forward slightly
requires a bit less leaning forward than two legged stretches
Have you ordered any groceries to Montaza yet?
Also, just curious where you stayed in Greece prior to your surgery? Montaza or somewhere else?

Maybe ask them if you can order groceries and takeaway, as well as if any rooms have a bath
I stayed in Montaza the days before the surgery, there might be cheaper options tbh
have not ordered groceries out of laziness, not sure what I'd get though if I did (maybe ramen? bananas? dunno what would be good that I can't get already that would make the delivery fee worth it, any ideas?)
glad I don't have to hop with the walker anymore they said, can use the walker or crutches and walk more normally (still not normal yet). I hated hopping with the walker, it was hand pain

Do they sell protein powder at local grocery shops?
Glad you can just use crutches now! That must be a relief. Are you still using the walker in the shower?

as a current patient, you should know best the answer to this question. just take into account the fact that internal tibia (PRECICE) would mean wheelchair until the end! what are YOUR current needs? what things did you overlook before and are only realizing now that youre staying in montaza? wheelchair-specific questions. those might be the best things to ask novotel or any other hotel you wish to move to!
