I ordered foldable forearm crutches on Amazon uk. The crutches they give with the program are below par. Skroutz.com doesn't have as much in the way of crutches and I have not been impressed with their delivery thus far. V21 showed me some ice bags that I will be ordering.
Quote from: MorningStar on September 23, 2021, 06:47:53 AMI don't know, man, hard to say. Actually I haven't bought anything from Amazon yet while I am here. But now I am thinking to buy this thing for stretching: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B073W9JCDZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Amazon takes forever to deliver in Greece. Ask the guys at PT if they can hook you up - they might have an extra you could borrow. The slant board is a double-edged sword; if you don't use it enough, your calves/ankles are gonna get super tight and cause ballerina. However, if you use it too much, the pinsites around your ankle could get irritated and potentially lead to infection.
"Amazon takes forever to deliver in Greece"
Curious, how long does it take for some things to get to Athens, Greece? What do most people in Athens, Greece use if amazon is so slow there?
It does take forever compared to the US where I receive almost everything the next day and sometime same day. You can get a 30 day trial on UK prime which is what I have. It tells you on each item when you will receive it but items I have ordered take 5 -12 days. I ordered 3 items on 9/22, 2 are coming 9/28 and the other between 9/29 and 10/5. They were shipped the same day and I was given tracking information. I ordered 2 items from skroutz on 9/19, 1 electronic item (hdmi for tv) arrived much earlier than they said on 9/22 but the delivery person refused to give it to me unless I paid him again. The other one was scheduled to be shipped 9/27 and I canceled it after my experience with skroutz delivery. So time frame is not so different. All things depend on the item. Mind you I don't judge skroutz by the one delivery person - many have had good experiences.
Thank you!!!
What were all the tests / labwork/ xrays / psychological exam etc that you had to do with Giotikas before you first saw him and how much did they cost you? How long did they take to do?

Hey, I had no psychological exam. Just a talk with doctor. He also tested my flexibility during my first visit (my first visit was live, not via internet). If I remember correctly, I paid 200 euros. X rays needed only if you are doing internals, but I don't know the price.

thanks morningstar for sharing your photos! again wishing you a successful lengthening and recovery!
in the future please share with us photos after frames removal 
How much would it cost for pure external including accommodation and everhthing in an apartment like yours?
33 day: 2 cm 1,25 mm (2 cm 5,25 mm with initial gap). Pain is around 3-4/10. It's more irritating than harmful. I had bad sleeping for past several days but yesterday I bought spray with melatonin so coincidence or not, but today's sleeping was pretty good. In general all good, just I am becoming a little tired of these frames on legs. And around 2 months left yet... But result is pushing me forward. When I am standing straight in front of mirror, I already see a changes!
@canterk No problem, I will.
@Thehighest According to the official prices (https://www.athensbjr.com/cost-pricing-of-cosmetic-limb-lengthening/) pure externals with TSF frames on tibia costs 25315 euro. Then apartments for 3 months (you must be here at least during the lengthening period) around 2200 euro. Food, medicines, nurse services let's say around 2000 euro (of course, it depends on how much you are on budget). So I think roughly around 30000 euro.
