Quote from: SirStretchAlot on October 02, 2021, 11:02:13 PMFantastic news. I'd even go for 7cm, since that seems to be the safety limit prescribed by most doctors.

Why not 10cm  5.5 Cm Femurs with Dr. Giotikas and G-Nail.

Quote from: V21 on October 02, 2021, 06:18:54 AMYesterday I got a bit of motivation. My gf had to go back to Spain for 7 days, and my parents came to see me. Before surgery, the top of the head of my father was more or less at my eyebrows. Right now, it's at my nose. This made me realize my progress and felt amazing. Besides that, I did very little clicks on right leg for 2 days, and nerve pain is like 80% gone. From now on, Dr. Giotikas allowes me to do 0.8 mm per day, and I will keep that pace until the end of lenghtening. Even though my initial goal was 5.5, I probably will go up to 6 if I feel healthy. If that's the case, I should finish my lenghtening by October 27th.

Congratulation! I too had the same realization with my progress. You will be happy to go on.

Hey guys. I haven't posted for a while cause I'm extremely busy due to job obligations. All is going well and I just surpassed today the 5 cm mark, so it's 12 more days of clicking for me. Doing 0.8 mm per day is great: I'm regaining my flexibility, low pain, low tightness. In PT they told me I have great flexibility, and that's even considering that, due to work, I haven't been strecthing as much as I used to. I think my hard work before surgery is paying off.

So it seems my only problem has been clicking pain (and time to work in my business). Clicking pain has also improved, cause the chief nurse and the PT woman recommended another technique to click, and it puts less strain on my muscles. Everyone else is also doing well.

When I finish lenghtening and have more time, I will make more detailed posts in specific matters, such as my opinions in Dr., the team, chances of clicking pain, accidental clicks... I hope it's useful to everyone. I do must say that, even with my clicking pain complications, I'm definetely happy about my choice. 1 more cm and that's it¡

It is great to hear that V21, looks like you are on your way to a pretty quick recovery. Looking forward to read about your progress in the next few months.

It seems that the g-nail is proving to be a pretty good alternative, I just wish it was cheaper.

1. If you were going to stay in Athens for 3 months for internal femur G-nail, how many physical euros would you bring with you on the plane to Athens?

2. What do you find yourself paying with physical euros for most frequently and how much do they cost?

Like 200. Taxis only accept cash, but you can use the Uber app (who calls taxis anyways) but allows you to pay with card before the trip.

ty! Oh, not Beat app? I heard that Greece uses Beat not Uber, maybe I misunderstood

How much should you tip the driver if he helps you carry the stuff? Trying to figure out which physical denominations of euros are useful to have

I'm not trolling or anything. But why does the bones look misaligned? I've seen many betz xrays and the bones always lined up.

The top side of nail looks more uneven inside the cavity. Looks liked one wall was reamed more than other.

But I'm not a pro. Is this all normal?
