Hello everyone. I am not into long posts or extended diaries. However, I will post my patient experience and progress and I’m happy to answer any questions. I am postop day number 12.
Starting height-169cm
Goal with Betzbone 10-11cm.
Age 39, no health issues.
Wingspan: 172cm
Weight: 86kg
12” nail, initial gap of 6mm
I requested the IT band release.
Great time to do the surgery in Europe now given a strong dollar, around 55k Euros with it band.
I have been discharged from the hospital (St. Ingbert, Krakenhaus) yesterday. I’m spending another week in Germany and then I’m going back to my home country in Latin America.
There is pain but it is quite manageable. I am clicking at 14 clicks a day. They used to suggest 20 clicks a day, but it is now 14 Max. Each click is 0.052mm. Walking with crutches, though I can take a couple steps without them. Sleep can be difficult but I can get in six hours. My female friend has been here with me the whole time and I highly suggest to bring somebody to care for you with the little things. What I still cannnot do for myself is put on my shoes. I will look into something online As I want to be as independent as possible despite the help.
