if I do 6 cm tibia with paley using stride - will I be able to walk in 4 weeks and go to office 4 weeks after surgery and lengthen and consolidate at home? thanks
Quote from: FormerKidd on July 01, 2018, 04:14:49 AMEven with Stryde, you will have to lengthen and do PT/stretch multiple times a day, plus deal with all the pain and aching that comes along with it. I would not assume that you will be able to work a job while doing this.
As for Paley, do note that IIRC he generally does not permit tibias beyond 5cm, and does not permit lengthening at home in 99% of cases.
I don't know about walking.
OK, so the stryde was unnecessarily hyped then, it does not offer any material benefit

I suggest you read OverrideYourGenetics' diary, he got to meet a Stryde patient first-hand.
Independence is getting to keep your job without needing to quit for LL, independence is beign able to go back to work and lengthen at home without being confined to florida - Stryde is not providing any independence on that respect, it is just providing some additional walking ability.

Thanks, I have not decided yet, the reason I asked Paley is because - I do not want to leave my job (because I am on h1b visa, if I leave the job it will be end of my career in the US) so I wanted to check even with best doctor around, best frame around is there a way to do the LL without quitting job. Maybe a better question to ask would be - is there any way I can return to work in 1 month (post surgery) and lengthen and consolidate at home.
