i used to read the diaries too... people seemed to be recovering quickly
after i get the surgery... all i hear( and experience) is that it takes 15 months or so to get back to normal
i think this timeline turns out to be more realistic..... it takes a while.. but it happens
Quote from: YellowSpike on April 08, 2015, 01:30:10 PMYeah I know - it was my mistake to underestimate the recovery. I read diaries like from OBG, ShyShy and ChrisIsaak (all internal femurs, RGKEY is tibias so can't compare apples to oranges), and they all seemed to walk pretty quickly.
Clearly LL is very individual and I made the mistake of relying on the diaries. I hope others don't do that. Don't assume you will be like anyone else, chances are you won't.
Anyway, I think I'm going to stop posting here for a good while and just not say anything until I've recovered (if that ever happens). I don't see any other point in being on here anymore.
At this poin you're here for two reasons: first and foremost you need us for support and advice seeing as you have no contact with others who share your experience, second we need you to give us further insight into how the recovery process might pan out, how long it takes, what it looks like etc.
I would be very dissapointed and, quite frankly, let down if you left now.

"Walking is very frustrating and tiring and just plain horrible. Something so basic and so necessary...totally ruined. "
its the same for all of us... walking should be something we do without thinking... but while recovering, it's definitely a workout..... eventually its supposed to be ok... everyone seems to go through this

Thanks pal. Don't worry, I fully intend to let everyone know when I actually recover. I just know that my posts now tend to sound negative, as I'm basically home all day alone with this issue (I work from home every day). Yeah, I still go out, but really can't have much of a social or dating life yet (well, except for that one girl I had over recently). I'm not a negative person as my posts may seem. I guess it's just harder than I expected, what can I say.
One positive thing - doing the bike with higher resistance seems to help. I'm walking around my apartment now, and I'm waddling a bit less (though walking is still quite an effort, and a bit painful at times). I will definitely be biking more on higher resistance in the coming days and weeks.
Why don't you make a video and show us what it looks like, surely it can't be that bad?
Also, have you still got your "duckass", or is it gone by now?

HI YS
Please Keep update
You know what
your recovery is good
some people still cant walk at the same time as you
You started walking so early compare with others
I know it hard and frustrating
but keep update to inspire all of us
all of your story benefit all of us
I'll make a video of my walking in a few weeks. I'd like it to improve a bit before then.
I think my duckass has improved a bit (maybe?), but it's still there. It's probably roughly the same. When I lay down on a flat surface or back against the wall, I can still feel it's there. I feel like the more correct term for it now would be anterior pelvic tilt (makes me look like I have a belly). Wonder if it's hiding a few mm of height...
It makes you look like a posing teenager with a beer-gut honestly but it does seem to be improving. Another month and you'll be rid of that crap.
It might hide a few mm but not a whole CM.
lol yeah that's pretty accurate. I don't have a gut. When I sit down, my stomach is mostly flat.
Yeah, I'm not expecting more than .5cm (5mm) at most. Maybe 2-3mm, so like 10% of an inch about lol
There's a swedish expression "alla bäckar små" it means "every small stream" -basically every little thing helps.
