Re: Re: Pain after tendon transfer

[Guest guest]

I was on crutches for around 6 months before I could walk on my foot.

Fortunately for me, my Algebra teacher was paralyzed from the waist down in

a motorcycle accident early in life, and wore braces and walked on crutches

also. He taught me a lot about how to do things for myself while having to

rely on the crutches--like how to hold the door open for yourself on

crutches, and then how to close a door once you step through on crutches.

I have had many surgeries since then (I'm 33 now) and always impress people

with my independence on crutches! Ya gotta do whatcha gotta do!

Patience and good luck! Joyce Erie, PA
