What you described is common and normal, and nothing you can't stretch your way out of pretty quickly. Do you have sandbags or other heavy things you could put on your knees? Those helped me out a lot as a form of passive physical therapy that I could do just while lying in bed.
No sandbags. I've been going to the edge of the bed and elevating my feet onto the walker, which locks my knees out and causes them to push downward due to the walker being much higher. So far it seems to be working.
just a question, how old are you and what's the average age at the hospital?
Thanks & good luck!
Early 20s.
Not sure what the average age is. I've seen a bunch of children, teens, middle age, and geriatrics.
A few more questions Kilo
1/ Can you ask about the Precice 2 nail when you next see Dr Parihar again. In the case of malfunction where the patient is not at fault like the recent one in South Africa, what does Dr Parihar do in those situations in terms of help for the patient? Will the replacement be extra charge or just an extra charge for the hospital fees?
2/ Do you think the food in India helps or is it bad for bone regeneration?
3/ What is your typical day like, I mean what do you do? Do you go out the hotel often?
4/ The extra physiotherapy you are doing atm, how much is that a session and do you think the price will be similar for Precice 2?
5/ How slow is the internet, for example Youtube, does it load slowly?
Probably a bad time to ask so many questions given you just had your first major complication and for that I apologise in advance. Answer them when ever you are able to
1) I'll ask him about the first one. I let him know about some of the issues with the nails not distracting that happened with patients of Dr Lee and Dr Birkholtz so he knows it could be an issue later. I've asked him about getting another internal option available to choose from and he's been thinking about it.
2) You can get all your nutritional needs here. Dr Parihar gives you pills for calcium and zinc, and you can also get it from the dairy and fish here. You can get your proteins through chicken, fish, and mutton. And there's no shortage of vegetables with so many here being vegetarian.
3) I haven't been going outside the hotel room much, just for a little bit to lounge in the lobby every once in a while. I have an HDTV in my room and a PS3 along with a bunch of DVDs and books in addition to my laptop, so that helps with the boredom. There's not much in terms of social interaction though being the only foreigner here and only one in frames.
4) I don't know yet. I've had two sessions so far and Dr Chaudhary hasn't said anything to me about money so I haven't paid anything so far.
5) I can watch youtube vids up to 480p fine. I have to pause for HD vids to load though. I think the average speed according to my cell phone is 19 mbps at this hotel, though at time it goes higher or lower depending on how many in the hotel are using it.
