I’m a LON patient at 6,5 cm’s.
I have monorails. Monorails were full weightbearing until 3,5 cm so until 3,5 I could stay alone without major problems. From 3,5 cm till 6,3 cm I used the walker but after 6,3 I can’t give any of my weigt to my legs so even with the walker I can not walk right now. I recommend you not to be alone. Sometimes I need help to get up or go to toilet and you can fall easily if you dont give attention.

After doing PRECICE 2 with Paley in West Palm Beach, programdude recommends having someone help you stretch daily, in addition to all the PT work.

The main discomfort comes from moving outside the apartment, to make an x-ray or to buy yourself food (you may have to climb ladders and you may be too weak for such distances).

Out of topic but I'm curious since I am the same height as you pre-surgery and the same sitting height, so what I want to know is: is it noticeably disproportionate after lengthening to become 181 cm? Another query is since you lengthened 7.5 cm on tibia which I heard is above 5 cm ""safe"" limit, do you feel your stride isn't what it used to be in a positive sense and if so what changed?
