Im assuming you meant you are stopping at 7cm... Anyway do you plan on going back home with the frames on or are you staying there until its off? How long is your visa valid for and do you know long it can be extended to? What does +5.5cm feel like, do you notice anything, do you feel taller or do you think 5cms on tibia as a first operation is not yet sufficient? Any pictures on your tibs would be a huge plus if you dont mind showing them. Thanks
Haha, it was just a joke. I don't plan to go higher than 6 cm and I might stop just short of that. I'll be returning home in frames as I'll probably have to wear them for 9 months or so.
Medical visas are normally issued for six months. You can request an extension by going to the immigration bureau with your blood tests and a medical report from your surgeon. My visa was extended by four months because I couldn't come to India until 5 months after my visa's issue date due to things I had to take care of at my office.
I think 5 cm makes a big difference already. It doesn't sound like it just by the number, but a 5 cm height difference between two people makes a big difference, especially at shorter starting heights. At this point I feel a little stiffer but I think that's because the last 7 days I increased my lengthening speed to 1 mm per day from .75 mm per day. After doing a lot of ankle movement exercises the stiffness went away. But the faster I lengthen, the more uncomfortable it feels afterward. I'm going back to .75 mm per day until the end now.
Here's a side view pic of what my left tibia looks like now. Right looks the same.

Ahh okay, Im assuming you mean the immigration bureau in India while you are still there lengthening/consolidating? I might stay there until the frames are removed if I go to India then
How many months have you been there in total now?

Yep. Been here since June 10th and had my surgery on June 25th.
Do you think the temperature in the room has to do anything with your process

Can you clarify what you mean by this?
relatedd to pain if its colder the more it hurts if it warmer the more soft the muscle tissue is and it dosnt hurt as muc,
Oh. Yes, I notice that my muscles feel a bit sore if I leave the air conditioner on for a long time. They feel fine again after turning it off for a short while.
Would you happen to know Dr Parihar's Precice 2 price including hospital and doctor fees?

It's 900,000 INR (about $15,000 USD) on top of the cost for the nails, which is $30,000. That will cover your hospital stay along with food, meds, pin site dressings, and twice daily physiotherapy while there. You need to arrange your own accommodation at a hotel and x-rays, medication, and gauze strips for your pin sites are all extra cost once you're discharged from the hospital.
Does he have a limit on femurs or will he allow the full 8cm for Precice 2 femurs?
