Yea it should be roughly $1,500 cheaper now. Sucked in 2009 when the USD was weak and surgery alone was $20,000.

Probably whoever you put as your emergency contact. But yea, he spoke to my mom before surgery, and he had a prospective patient who ended up going to Dr Dhawan because Dr Parihar said he had to inform his parents what he was going to do and he didn't want them finding out.
No More Mal-Kahn-Tent - External Tibias - Dr Parihar

Awww, but I've been living on my own since forever lol. I even paid for my own tuition in college. Do you think this would disqualify me? 
I'm 23 years old btw.

I was living on my own for a while and at 24 I still had to inform a relative. No harm asking him about it through email though. Maybe he'll make exceptions in certain cases based on individual circumstances.

Sorry if I ask a lot of questions, its just that it has always been my dream to be taller.
Last question please, did he talk to your mom in person or over the phone. Also did he required her to sign some documents etc?

He talked to her on the phone. After surgery she called him again all hysterical wanting to know if I was still alive and he spent some time explaining to her that everything was fine, even sending a pic to her of me smiling on the operating table.
I was the only one who needed to sign anything.

this was really nice and ethical of him I'd say.
Your last x ray looked very promising tho.
It has been over a year and half, you should be able to do normal activities tho.
I hope its normal and you dont have CECS.
Try slowing things down and wait untill 2017 
Your legs look like you have some muscle not thin sticks like some people get at all. Always sucks when rehab takes a long time. I'm hoping that does not happen to me. I've enjoyed your diary. thanks for doing it! Good luck and hang in there.
Took another set of x-rays when I went to get checked out for CECS on August 22. Figured I'd post the images so you can see what the bones look like more than 2 years after the initial surgery. 
For those telling others that my x-rays are proof that people should avoid Dr Parihar for CLL, what do you see is the issue with them? According to my US trained and based traumatologist, and multiple radiologists who reviewed my x-rays each time they were taken, my bones and alignment are fine.
The latest radiology report said the following:
No acute fracture is identified. The alignment is normal. Stable postsurgical changes are seen along the tibial shaft and fibular shaft related to previous limb lengthening procedures. Joint spaces are grossly intact.
If you're concerned over the fact that my tibias are not stick straight like a lot of other people's tibias, that's been addressed in an earlier post in the diary. It's a normal variation in the shape of the tibia shaft and when looking at my pre-op standing x-ray it's seen that they were shaped that way before surgery. It's because of this variation that some people are not suitable for LON and can only do externals.
