30%
I heard back from Dr. Kim's physicians assistant today (Erin). She told me that I can progress from 1/6th weight bearing to 30%. This won't be a problem for my hip but it will cause a major problem for my knee at this point! Hmm-this could be interesting!
My name is Jill and I am 29 years old. I am a former competitive gymnast and I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), Chiari Malformation- Type 1 (8.5mm herniation), craniocervical instability, Neurocardiogenic Syncope and POTS (forms of Dysautonomia and secondary conditions to EDS), slight/minor Mitral Valve Prolapse, bilateral acetabular hip dysplasia (corrected in a procedure called Periacetabular Osteotomy--PAO), gastroparesis and delayed intestinal motility, Hashimoto's, Graves', Autoimmune Neutropenia, and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).
What an accomplishment and that knee of yours hopefully won't have much too say about it.
ReplyDeleteYour scar looks like it healing nicely.
Thanks! The scar is definitely healing faster than I would have expected!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I am unable to weight-bear at 30% because of my knee-slowing my recovery down!
