Legs op tomorrow - any experiences?

Thanks for asking Richard. Jordi started high school today, still in a wheelchair but able to walk with the assistance of a frame and climb stairs. Almost pain-free now.  X-rays show one femur pretty much repaired, the other a bit behind. Doing his physio, hydrotherapy, standing frame, but still too early to say how successful the op's been. He's expected to be walking in a couple of months - two longer than the main consultant said. I'll try to remember to keep you posted - hope things are ok with you.

Getting on for eight months since Jordi's op now and I've just posted this slightly tongue in cheek vid about his progress: https://youtu.be/bXSea-SVD9c

Hi @jonblake and Jordi

Love the video! Also, fantastic to see the progress too. How is everything?

Thanks Richard. Jordi's done really well at high school, was in the school. musical in his wheelchair and is now just taking crutches.  He;'s suddenly become able to swim after years of trying and is also riding horses!  As you'll see in the vid his movement is still quite limited so we don't know if he'll need more intervention to get him walking straight.
