Hi,
I am unable to take 6-7 months off due to extreme work pressure in my current job. As few of you know here, my height is 5' 6". I am still getting rejected by women and I think my rejection sensitivity is pretty high. Every time I get a reject from a girl I really like, I feel sad and depressed and go in a depression cycle. I am in a quandary right now whether to face multiple rejections, get strong and hope that some girl I like will ignore my height and still like me. Else, take time off sacrificing career goals, get tall and be more attractive to women at large. Can anyone help me in making this decision?
I am open to suggestions involving action in either of these 2 ways or an entirely different input altogether on how to handle this.
There's no reason you'd have to leave work for that long. Just take a couple months off for the distraction period, then fly home for consolidation. The worst that can happen during the consolidation period is non-union or delayed union, and that's something you can deal with at home.
Bro, you are talking as if non-union is a small issue..

If you're lengthening with a partial weight bearing device like Precice 2, you will need to stay at least 2 to 3 more months (maybe even more) into consolidation until your bones are consolidated enough to walk independently.

No, I'm not.

I guess, but I would never get precice unless I didn't have better options.

Another worst case scenario in consolidation phase is hardware break. An internal rod, even the full weight bearing Stryde rod, can bend because the patient miscalculated the rod's load limits and bone consolidation, then the bone can consolidate around the curved rod. Or the rod can break at the locking screws, or even crack in the main shaft.
I can't numerically rate which is worse, non-union or hardware break. But either case will be a major disaster. Also, neither one of these can be fixed by the patient at home.

I have read about gnail/betzbone nail users, they have been able to resume work in no time
Dr Giotikas confirmed that 6 weeeks post op and one can return work
this is the reason why I am considering the G-nail now
You don't need to sacrifice that long time for lengthening. For example(just set Betz as an example and I am not promoting him or whatnot), you can go for Betz to do internal surgeries and the way I heard about Betz he can guarantee you can go home after 2 weeks but you gotta periodically show your X-ray of your bones to him and if the X-rays revealed any issues you gotta go back to Betz for certain countermeasures.
But I dunno what your job is and if you are engaging in manual works then just forget what I've said.

That’s true, but my point is that you’ll catch it in the weekly x-rays you’ll be sending to your doctor. It’s not as time-sensitive in that sense as lengthening complications.
