Lengthening at home vs. Dr. Paley

Edit Post

Hey guys

I saw Dr. Paley in consultation and liked everything.  But I really want to be able to lengthen at home and Paley does not allow patients that option.  He is also the one with the most experience with the Stryde nail.  He must have good reason to still expect patients to be close to his clinic.  I know guys like Debiparshad offer the option of lengthening from home after the first 4 weeks. 

For those that did it from home, were you a bit anxious about doing this all alone?  Did you have trouble finding PT who was comfortable with someone doing LL?  I'm from Canada so it won't be too difficult getting back to the surgeon in case of any serious issues.  Would you still do it from home if you could do it again?

Cheers

Hey limewalk,

Thanks for responding.  I'm also kind of anxious like you and don't want to risk any issues with lengthening away.  But being away from home for 3 months isn't easy for me.  It seems that some have had surgery by guys like Debiparshad and lengthened from home without many issues.  It'd be nice to know how they managed to find PT who was comfortable and knowledge about LL.
