Hi Siegfried,

Nice to hear your update. Glad you are able to work from home and pain is manageable! Have you been able to leave the house and see friends/run errands on crutches? Or have you been taking it easy on that?

Not really, I’m still on crutches after all. So naturally your life is very restricted. Another reason I don’t want to go out as much, is the fact that I’m generally paranoid of bending the nails. I try to limit my self to my apartment for the next few months and focus on ll and work. My social life is pretty much off the table. Afterall this is not stryde, where movie went partying during distraction.

18 Days Post-OP

0.9 mm lengthened in my left tibia All good so far, just had my second check-up appointment. The doctor seemed happy with how things are going so far.

I will have my left femur surgery in 3 days. I didnt really plan on having two different appointments for both segments. However, it is what is, and I am glad to go get it over with. This procedure involves a lot of patience and provides some valuable life lessons along the way, such as having to take some things step by step and remaining an optimistic perspective on things. It's all manageable in the end, it's just how you're mindset is tuned into it and how you approach it which really makes the difference.

Ive experienced a lot of setbacks regarding the planning and executing of this surgery in the last 2 years, which I have not gone into detail about yet. I plan on making a designated post about it one of these days. Nonetheless, I am very relieved and happy to finally make my dream come to reality.

is the cost 600000 euro per two segments?

Glad to here everything going smoothly. What do you spend most of your days doing? How is it climbing stairs with crutches?

As someone about to do unilateral tibia, I am curious what the one legged life is like in the first few weeks post op!
