Go up the stairs with LON method
« on: October 18, 2022, 05:07:37 AM »

I will have tibia LON surgery in the next two weeks, after surgery I will be in the hospital for two weeks with the help of a nurse, after which I will live in an apartment by myself.
And during lengthening period I need a wheelchair to go out three times a day (to get takeaway, which cannot be delivered upstairs for some special reasons). I need to take two or three stairs to get into the apartment building, can I put the wheelchair up first and then go up the stairs via the handrail?Is there any risk in doing so?
Or I can go up with wheelchair through a slope,which a bit steep, I'm not sure if I can do it myself

Only way i been able to go upstairs/ downstairs during lengthening was with crutches 🩼 then you will need a backpack to carry your food.

Try to find a way to get it delivered upstairs. Tip the delivery guy let them know that you’re disabled or order from some place that can come upstairs

Depends on the grade of the slope vs. your upper body strength.

There are only two or three stairs at the entrance of the apartment, and then I can go upstairs through the elevator. Is there any risk if I hold the handrail up these two or three steps?

two or three stairs steps? is not about holding something, you will need support to hold your body weight. leaning on handrail and carry your food will be difficult. i removed the device a month ago and still can’t go upstairs without crutches 🩼
