Quote from: Morissette on September 20, 2016, 04:28:39 AMThis morning I was minding my own business eating some toast with jam on my bed and this bug came crawling out of between my mattress and bedframe. Before I had time to kill it it crawled back. I tried to find it but I can't so now I have a rogue bug in my room somewhere.

This reminds me of when a huge spider started crawling up the wall near my bed and I got really nervous because I was in quite a bit of discomfort and couldn't move all that fast if it came toward me. I called room service and had them take care of it. Is there a designated bug killer over there? lol

Oh my goodness spiders I would lose my mind mine was just a mini ckroach looking thing 🙈. I don't think there is I tried hunting for the bug a little moving my mattress and stuff but no luck so I'm just gunna pretend like he doesn't exist haha. Hopefully he torments someone else.

Physio is getting more bearable as the days go on. The feeling of everything in my lower leg being tight is also going away the more I stretch.

I just came back from the hospital to get X-rays and something very strange happened. So far I have turned to lengthening 1.35cm but the X-ray shows that my left leg has lengthened 1.65cm and my right leg has lengthened 1.42cm. I'm not complaining but if anyone care to shed a little wisdom on this you would be more then welcomed. Up until today I had started to question myself on wether this was really worth it but there's something so increadibly satisfying knowing that I'm on my way. Long story short yes it is worth it.

Just in quick response to what you posted in the proportions thread.

1) There are some flawed basis you posted which I'm not even going to get into because I know for a fact you really wouldn't listen too.

However, there is something I want you to listen too...

2)If you're still going ahead and doing all that ridiculous amount of lengthening in the tibia understand you will have a very hard recovery process AND future lenthening you could have done in the femurs will be gone. You would look ridiculous if you added any more in the femurs.

Lastly, when it comes to recovery, your bones may heal, you may get rid of the lengthening muscle discomfort, but that doesn't mean you'll be fine (or anywhere close to 100%). Take this analogy: http://www.limblengtheningforum.com/index.php?topic=1584.msg51535#msg51535

That's all

I've officially turned for 2cm. The pain is minimal now I can bend my knees and lift my legs no problem. Physio is still a pain when I stretch but necessary, I still have good mobility in my toes and so far ballerina has stayed clear. I believe I will get my next X-rays in a few days. This whole experience has been quite boring I recommend for any future LLers bring lots of books,games,movies whatever you can think of to kill time. You can only eat up so much time with exercises.

On another note if ever the pain was too much I would slow down the rate of lengthening but so far it's quite manageable. It's not painless but it feels like growing pains usually stops within the hour, sleep is still difficult but easier the increased mobility in my legs allows me to sleep on my side. Not as comfortable as before of course but sometimes it's a nice change over being on my back all day everyday.

Good luck dude, you're 5'7. An entire inch of gain has to be motivating.
Edit: Well..2cm =/= an inch but you were a bit higher than 5'6 so..5'7.

Thanks penguin:) it's quite motivating hope the rest goes as smoothly!
