How long will it take me to walk
Sir I met an accident on 30 dec and I am bed now for more than 4 weeks on proper skeleton traction.
Sir I am advised to be on traction till 28 feb.
Seeing my X-ray can you say when can I walk with Walker and perform my basic routine.
When can I walk without Walker, like I did normally.
I am in the fear that should I be able to walk or not.
Please help me sir.
Thank you!
